Dr. Adnan H. Siddiqui, is a University at Buffalo Distinguished Professor and Vice Chairman in the Department of Neurosurgery (UBNS) at the State University of New York at Buffalo’s Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. He joined UBNS in December 2006. Dr. Siddiqui completed fellowship training in Interventional Neuroradiology, Cerebrovascular Surgery and Neurocritical Care from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. He completed his Neurosurgical residency at Upstate Medical University and received his PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Rochester and medical degree from Aga Khan University in Pakistan. He is a Fellow of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, American College of Surgeons and American Heart Association. He is profoundly indebted to his mentors Nick Hopkins, Robert Rosenwasser, Charles Hodge and Shirley Joseph in shaping his career as a dual-trained cerebrovascular surgeon, clinician scientist and entrepreneur.

He submitted his PhD (Analytics) thesis on… Looking through the lens of ecological system theory, this paper used a mixed-method approach, based on 20 interviews and 208 Early Childhood Education (ECE) teacher questionnaires, to elaborate the position of ECE in Pakistan. The study indicates that ECE is between a rock and a hard place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The findings further show that ECE is provided by less qualified and inexperienced teachers, who give less attention to the physical and psychological needs of the students. The classrooms are overcrowded and lack relevant teaching–learning materials. Moreover, the single-teacher policy and overcrowded classrooms hinder students’ motivation, the delivery of quality education and the development of good behaviors. These challenges are also the main causes of students’ dropouts. This paper increases people’s understanding of ECE and its challenges in Pakistan. For ECE development, the paper recommends separating ECE from primary schools and giving it a budget to purchase adequate and relevant resources. Keywords: early childhood education, overcrowded classroom, in-service training, teaching–learning materials, disruptive behaviors, Pakistan Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Pakistan is offered to children between three and six years old [1]. It is viewed as the basis for good behaviors and a means to manage social, economic and political challenges as early as possible [2,3]. Effective ECE puts great emphasis on the health and well-being of students [4], which has a lifelong imprint on their characters [5,6]. However, the ECE situation in Pakistan is quite uneasy, where the sector is caught between a rock and a hard place, due to human and material resources [1]. To ease such a problem, the Australian Aid Program inaugurated a project in collaboration with Save the Children .
Dr. Siddiqui has special interest and expertise in the performance of complementary microsurgical, radiosurgical and endovascular techniques for the comprehensive management of cerebrovascular conditions. This spectrum of disease includes aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations, as well as dural, cavernous and spinal fistulae. He has special interests in endovascular management of acute ischemic stroke, as well as endovascular and microsurgical management of extracranial and intracranial vascular occlusive disease. Other clinical interests include endovascular management of intractable epistaxis, facial vascular malformations, head, neck, and brain tumor embolization and microsurgical resection of skull base tumors.
Dr. Siddiqui has over 600 peer reviewed publications, more than 50 chapters, almost 50,000 citations and an H index of 89. He is particularly proud of representing Buffalo and the US at most major cerebrovascular conference Faculty of Engineering and IT Academic staff
