Fayyazuddin

At 93 years old, Fayyazuddin physical status not available right now. We will update Fayyazuddin's height, weight, eye color, hair color, build, and measurements.

Fayyazuddin joined Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) in 1962 where he worked under the guidance of professor Abdus Salam and continued his research on the cosmic ray mu-mesons. He published his research journal on the basis of the Bethe-Bloch theory. At that time, he published his thesis that sparked a controversy between two sets of experiments.

He undertook postdoctoral research at the Enrico Fermi Institute at the University of Chicago from 1966 to 1968. At the institute, Fayyaz, Faheem Hussain, Riazuddin, and Peter Rotteli, formed "The Relativity Group", a team of young research scientists in special relativity. In 1968, when the Institute of Physics was established at the University of Islamabad (now Quaid-i-Azam University), the scientists eagerly returned to Pakistan. Fayyazuddin, Hussain, Arif-uz-Zaman, and Sarwar Razmi, joined the Institute of Physics. The institute become an active center for theoretical particle physics research due to their distinguished contribution, and its presence was recognized internationally.

In 1970, he went to Great Britain, where he attended Rutherford Appleton Laboratories as an associate research scientist. In 1972, he returned to the Institute of Physics of Quaid-e-Azam University. He joined the Theoretical Physics Group under his brother's guidance and participated in Fast neutron calculations – a key calculation to develop the weapons. In 1973, Fayyaz traveled to Geneva, Switzerland where he became a visiting scientist at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). In 1977, he returned to Quaid-i-Azam University as a physics professor and subsequently became the dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences. In 1980, he went to Saudi Arabia where he became a regular professor of physics at the King Saud University in Riyadh and a regular professor of physics at the Ummal Qura University in Mecca till 1996. After teaching in Saudi Arabia, he returned to Quaid-i-Azam University in 2005. In 2007, Fayyazuddin joined Pakistan's National Center for Physics as a senior scientist. In 2008, he was awarded HEC Distinguished Professor award by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. In 2000, the President of Pakistan, General Pervez Musharraf, conferred on him Pakistan's second-highest civilian award Hilal-i-Imtiaz for his contributions to the field of research in physics and science.
