With his bachelor's degree, he secured a silver medal awarded by the university’s board of graduation. He completed his M.Phil. in 1994, followed by the M.Sc. in mathematics in 1992 and a PhD in mathematics, under the supervision of dr. Saleem Asghar in 1999 from the same institution.[2]
Having joined Quad-i-Azam University as a Junior Research Assistant, Hayat engaged his research in wave, fluid, and Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics.[3] He became a Senior research assistant in 1995, and a lecturer in mathematics in 1998. In 2001, he went to Germany where he became an AVH Fellow at the Darmstadt University.[4]
After completing his research, Hayat returned to Pakistan where he joined his alma mater to become an Assistant Professor of mathematical sciences. In 2005, he was promoted as an Associate Professor in mathematics department of QAU and, in 2007, had promoted as a distinguished HEC National Professor.[5]
His research is engaged to the fields of Wave Motion, Acoustic, Electromagnetic and Elastic waves, Fluid Mechanics, Relativity, and Biomechanics.[6] At QAU, he is a distinguished member of Fluid Mechanics Group where he currently supervising the post-graduate studies.[7]
