Naeem Ahmad Khan

At 96 years old, Naeem Ahmad Khan physical status not available right now. We will update Naeem Ahmad Khan's height, weight, eye color, hair color, build, and measurements.

Khan returned from England and joined the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) in 1960. Promoted as a scientific officer the following year, his early research focused on low-energy nuclear reactions. Khan then returned to the United Kingdom,: 31  where he conducted his postdoctoral research at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment in Harwell (funded by the PAEC and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority).: 8  He went to the United States in 1962, and was a research fellow at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia in 1964 and 1965.: 102

Khan returned to Pakistan in 1965, and was a senior scientific officer at the PAEC Minerals Center in Lahore; he became its principal scientific officer in 1967. He formed the Nuclear Physics Group, with mechanical engineer Hafeez Qureshi and physicists Bashiruddin Mahmud and Samar Mubarakmand as key members.: 2–3  The Nuclear Physics Division made fundamental calculations on neutron scattering through the gas centrifuge process before it was disbanded by 1969.

Khan was posted to the PAEC's administration in 1970, and was its director of training and international affairs before becoming secretary. His research continued to focus on developing a solid-state nuclear track detector, and he aided work on neutron scattering; in 1968, he published an article on the subject with Qureshi.: 2  Khan was appointed director of the Research Technological Department in 1975, directing the Nuclear Physics Division before becoming director of the Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology (Pakistan's national laboratory) in 1977.

Khan became chairman of the Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) in 1984, where he remained until he became technical adviser to the Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation (COMSTECH) in 1989. He was a founding fellow of the Islamic World Academy of Sciences in 1986, promoting science and technology in the Islamic world. Khan left COMSTECH in 1996, and was vice-president of the Pakistan Academy of Sciences (PAS) until the following year.

In 1997, Khan became a professor of physics at Karachi University, Sindh University in Hyderabad, Quaid-e-Azam University in Islamabad, Bahauddin Zakariya University in Bahawalpur, Punjab University in Lahore, and the Air University in Islamabad. He supervised five doctoral candidates in physics at Punjab University who were funded by the PAEC.

Khan also worked for the Ministry of Energy (MoE), and briefly served on the advisory board of the Hydrocarbon Development Institute of Pakistan. In 2007, he became the Pakistan Air Force's (PAF) civilian scientist, instructing its pilots on aerodynamics and meteorology at the Pakistan Air Force Academy in Risalpur. Khan died in Islamabad on 29 September 2013, and is buried there. Physicist N. M. Butt published a eulogy and obituary for the PAS in October 2013.
