My name is Jehan Zeb Khan and I was born in Peshawar, Pakistan. I belong to a humble origin such that my parents (Mohammed Hukam Khan and Mrs. Munsif Sultan) worked hard all their lives. I am really very much grateful to them that they gave me the best in the world and I mean the education and manners to live a life of a good citizen along with a practicing faith. I received my high school certificate form Govt. High School No. 1 Peshawar city and did my F.Sc. (A levels) from Edwardes College, Peshawar. Later on, I did my B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from UET Peshawar (now known as Paktoon Khwa University of Engineering). I started my career as Mechanical Engineering from Omar Glass Factory, Peshawar and later on, worked at Itehad Industry Peshawar during its installation phase. There after, I left for Saudi Arabia and worked as Mechanical Engineer at Saudi American Glass Company, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In August 1986, I returned to Pakistan and started my teaching career at UET Peshawar as Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. In the following year I received S & T scholarship to study abroad towards post graduate level. I did my PhD in Aeronautical Engineering from City University, London UK major in Aeroelasticity and received Handley Page Award form Royal Aeronautical Society of London for the year 1991. I did my post-doctoral work at City University in optimization of composite lifting surfaces (wing and tail) for aeroelastic constraints such as divergence and flutter using material coupling. In 1993 I returned to Pakistan and became full Professor at the Mechanical Department. I worked on major projects such as Shaheen SSM for NDC during my stay in Pakistan from 1995-98 and thereafter, I immigrated to the United States. I also briefly taught at UNITEN in Malaysia as a Professor. Since than I have served as Sr. Aerospace Engineer at Groen Brothers Aviation, Frasca International, Sikorsky Aircraft, Advanced Rotorcraft Technology, Begelow Aerospace and Frontier Wind. My expertise is in the field of FEA, CFD, AeroMechanics, Stability and Control, Flight Dynamics and Thermodynamics.
