Qaiser Mushtaq (born 28 February 1954), (D.Phil.(Oxon), ASA, KIA), is a prominent Pakistani mathematician and academic who has made numerous contributions in the field of Group theory and Semigroup. He is vice-chancellor of The Islamia University Bahawalpur. Mushtaq is one of the leading mathematicians and educationists in Pakistan. Through his research and writings, he has exercised a profound influence on mathematics in Pakistan. Mushtaq is an honorary full professor at the Mathematics Division of the Institute for Basic Research, Florida, US. His research contributions in the fields of group theory and LA-semigroup Theory have won him recognition at both national and international levels. In Graham Higman's words, "''he has laid the foundation of coset diagrams for the modular group''", to study the actions of groups on various spaces and projective lines over Galois fields. This work has been cited in the Encyclopedia of Design Theory.〔http://designtheory.org/library/encyc/topics/cayley.pdf〕 ==Biography== Qaiser Mushtaq was born in Sheikhupura, Pakistan to Pir Mushtaq Ali and Begum Saghira Akhter, and belongs to the Qureshi family of Gujranwala.

Later, in 1980, he received the prestigious Royal Scholarship to do his D.Phil. at Wolfson College, Oxford. He was a doctoral student of Graham Higman and was awarded a doctorate in 1983 for a thesis entitled ''Coset Diagrams for the Modular Group''. In 1990 he was at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy, as a visiting mathematician. He also worked as an associate professor at the Universiti Brunei Darussalam from 1993 to 1999, after which he returned to Pakistan.
