Pakistani nuclear physicist Ishfaq Ahmed passes away

Pakistani nuclear physicist Dr Ishfaq Ahmed passed away on Thursday, at the age of 87.

Dr Ahmed was the chairperson for Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission from 1991 to 2001. During this period, in 1998, Pakistan conducted its first nuclear test.

Due to his efforts in the field of nuclear physics, Dr Ahmed had received three of the highest civil awards in Pakistan – Sitara-e-Imtiaz, Hilal-e-Imtiaz and Nishan-e-Imtiaz. His endeavours also led to the creation of Global Change Impact Studies Centre in Islamabad, where research on climate change is undertaken.

He had also served as an adviser to the prime minister for strategic and scientific programmes.

The nuclear physicist was born and raised in Gurasdpur, India in 1930, as per reports. But his family migrated to Lahore after Partition.

He studied Bachelors of Science in Physics at Punjab University in 1949. After completing his undergraduate studies, Dr Ahmed went on to pursue a masters degree. He also carried out research in Canada on nuclear technologies.

My deepest respect to a person of this capacity. As an aspiring pseudo-nuclear engineer a person with such achievements is a role model.

A person that Pakistanis can rightly be proud of.

There is an Arabic Wikipedia page about him as well.

Pakistan has very capable nuclear engineers. How many are left of the "old guard"?

Thank you brother.

All of you nationalists should thank this man for not giving India or US the ability to bully us like weak nations such as Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya.

Unlike us, that are patriots by talking, this man was a patriot by doing and defining. All praise be to Allah swt for giving us such a brilliant man.

Many of you new burger/Pakistanis might not know this, but even the first atomic bomb effort known as the Manhattan project had Pakistani scientists/physicists involved. To be fair there were Indians on the team as well.

Muhammad Raziuddin Siddiqui was one of Einstein's favorite students.
