Muhammad Sharif (cosmologist) (Urdu: محمد شريف) (June 15, 1962) is a widely known Pakistani mathematician and cosmologist, specialized in mathematical physics and physical cosmology. He is the Chairman of the Department of Mathematics, University of the Punjab (PU), Lahore.[1][2] Sharif is a Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan Distinguished National Professor.[1] He has been awarded the Izaz-Fazeelat and Tamgha-i-Imtiaz by the government of Pakistan.

Sharif completed a postdoctoral Fellowship in South Korea and another in the UK, successfully completing two research projects. He is a student of Pakistani Mathematical physicist Dr. Asghar Qadir.

Sharif has participated and attended more than 60 International and National workshops and conferences in his field.[3][4] He has published more than 250 research papers and his work has been cited more than 1800 times by national and international researchers.[5] For his educational contributions, Sharif was awarded the Best University Teacher Award by HEC in 2008 and Gold Medal by Pakistan Academy of Sciences in 2009.[6] As of February 2014, he has supervised thirty-nine M. Phil and ten Ph.D students, and many researchers are still benefiting from his expertise. He is also an associate member of the World Academy of Science. Has has been promoting research culture through organizing lecture series, national and international conferences and symposiums on relativistic astrophysics. [7] In order to promote research in astrophysics, Sharif organized following meetings [8][9][10]
