Muqeem Khan

Sessional Faculty​

Email

Introduction

Dr. Muqeem Khan joined the Aga Khan University as a sessional Faculty in August, 2025. He is a distinguished transdisciplinary designer, educator, and herbal physician whose career bridges academia, integrative medicine, visual effects, and interactive design. With over two decades of experience spanning Hollywood VFX studios, AI-driven innovation, and Greco-Arab healing traditions, Dr. Khan stands at the intersection of the ancestral and the algorithmic.

Education

In 1996, Dr. Khan broke ground in the Hollywood CGI industry, contributing to iconic films such as Flubber, Deep Rising, Armageddon, and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. His collaborations with Walt Disney and Square USA positioned him among the pioneers who shaped the early evolution of computer-generated visual storytelling.

A passionate advocate of traditional healing, Dr. Khan is a licensed herbalist and pulse reader, continuing his family’s Unani medicine legacy through Hakeem Mursaleen Pvt. Ltd. His work merges time-honored Greco-Arab medicinal systems with data-driven diagnostics and design thinking.

Awards and honours

His groundbreaking work on immersive interaction tools for Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) earned him a finalist spot for the Alumni of the Year Award 2023 and a prestigious $1 million research grant from Qatar’s National Priorities Research Program (NPRP).
