Department of Physics and Electronics, University of Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir, India, from 1981, and later, at the P. G. Department of Physics, Jamia Millia Islamia, from 1985. During these years, he taught electrodynamics, statistical mechanics, theory of relativity, advance solid state physics, crystallography, physics of materials, growth and imperfections of materials, and general solid state physics. He has authored 4 books: Solid State Physics, Essentials of Crystallography, and Numerical Problems in Solid State Physics, and Numerical problems in Crystallography (from Springer Nature). He has also published over 100 research papers in national and international journals of repute and supervised 15 Ph.D. theses during his career at Jamia Millia Islamia. Professor Wahab has published the discovery of hexagonal close packing (HCP) and rhombohedral close packing (RCP) as the two new space lattices, along with his son (Mr. Khurram Mujtaba Wahab), as their first joint paper after his retirement.
