Having joined Quaid-i-Azam University as a junior research assistant, Hayat engaged his research in wave mechanics, Fluid mechanics, and non-Newtonian fluid mechanics. 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 Technische Universität Darmstadt.

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 Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU) and, in 2007, had promoted as a distinguished HEC National Professor.

His research is engaged to the fields of wave motion, acoustic, electromagnetic and elastic waves, fluid mechanics, relativity, and biomechanics. At QAU, he is a distinguished member of Fluid Mechanics Group, where he is currently supervising the postgraduate studies.
