Dr. Imran Anwar is an Associate Professor at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Pakistan, and served as Chair of the Department from 2021 to 2025. He is the Regional Director of the Emerging Regional Centre of Excellence of the European Mathematical Society (EMS) for Pakistan and an Ambassador of the International Day of Mathematics (IDM), actively advancing the promotion of mathematics in society at large.

He earned his PhD in Mathematics (2008) from the Abdus Salam School of Mathematical Sciences, Government College University Lahore. His research spans Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry, with particular emphasis on combinatorial commutative algebra, enumerative combinatorics, and applied aspects of combinatorial algebra.

Beyond research, Dr. Anwar is deeply committed to mathematical outreach and public engagement. He is the Founder and Curator of LUMS Math Circles (since 2021), an initiative aimed at broadening access to rich mathematical experiences, challenging widespread misconceptions, and fostering curiosity and rigorous thinking among school students and the wider community.

Prior to joining LUMS, Dr. Anwar was affiliated with the Abdus Salam School of Mathematical Sciences (2015–2020), where he served as Associate Professor and Director of Academics. In this role, he actively promoted research collaborations and led efforts to build and strengthen the School’s international academic linkages.
