:فيا ض ا لدين), (born November 10, 1930), is a Pakistan
i theoretical physicist and an emeritus professor of Theoretical
and Mathematical Physics
at National Centre for Physics and Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad
.
. He is a senior scientist at the National Center for Physics where his research is engaged to the fields of quantum mechanics
, particle physics
, and meson physics
. He is a brother of physicist
Dr. Riazuddin and the student of Dr. Abdus Salam
. Along with Riazuddin, he has published numerous physics papers and has co-authored the Quantum Mechanics by Fayyazuddin and Riazuddin which was published in 2000.
, the family migrated to Lahore
, Pakistan
. He along with his brother Riazuddin attended Punjab University. Fayyazuddin did his B.A.
with honors in Mathematics
from Punjab University, followed by his in M.Sc.
Mathematical physics
under the supervision of Dr. Abdus Salam
. His master's degree
dissertation were written on the "Methods of Mathematical Physics", which was jointly written with Riazuddin. In 1953, he did his M.Phil
. in Particle physics
, writing his another master thesis on "Energy Loss of Mesons in Crystals", under the supervision of dr. Rafi Muhammad Chaudhry
from the same alma mater. After his M.Sc.
and M.Phil
, Fayyaz moved to Karachi
and joined the Karachi University where he became a lecturer of physics.
After teaching Mathematics
and Physics
at the Karachi University, Fayyaz, on his brother's advice, traveled to United Kingdom
in 1959. He attended Imperial College London
where Abdus Salam
and Riazuddin were also teaching. He was awarded his Ph.D
. in theoretical
Particle physics
under the supervision of Prof. Abdus Salam (late) in 1962. Dr. Fayyazuddin's dissertation where written on "Preliminary Analysis of Photoproduction of K Mesons in the Mandelstam Representation". Following his Ph.D, Fayyaz came back to Pakistan and joined Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission
(PAEC).
(PAEC) in 1962 where he worked under dr. Abdus Salam
. At the PAEC, he continued his research on the cosmic ray
mu mesons. He then published his research journal on the basis of the Bethe-Bloch theory, in which the theory supports the idea of a logarithmic increase of ionization loss for relativistic particles. At the time he published his thesis, there was a controversy between two sets of experiments, Fayyazuddin founded interested to perform the experiment.
Fayyazuddin on a post-doctoral research went to United States
where he joined his brother. Fayyaz was offered post doctoral research at the Enrico Fermi Institute
at the University of Chicago
where he also met a noted physicist dr. Faheem Hussain
. At the Institute, Fayyazuddin, along with Faheem Hussain, Riazuddin, Peter Rotteli formed "The Relativity Group" where the team of young scientists carried out the research to the fields of special relativity
. In 1968, when the Institute of Physics was established at the then-University of Islamabad by the dr. Abdus Salam's effort, the scientists returned the Pakistan
reluctantly. Fayyazuddin, along with Faheem Hussain, Arif-uz-Zaman, and Sarwar Razmi, joined the Institute of Physics. Due to their contribution, the institute was an active centre of research in theoretical particle physics and its presence was felt at an international level.
In 1970, Fayyazuddin went to Great Britain
where he joined the Rutherford Appleton Laboratories as a research associate scientist. In 1972, Fayyazudin returned to Pakistan where he joined the Institute of Physics of Quaid-e-Azam University. In 1972, Fayyazuddin, including with mathematician Munir Ahmad Rashid, attended the Multan meeting — a meeting in which Pakistan decided to developed the atomic weapon. He joined the Theoretical Physics Group under his brother's guidance. And, he took participation in Fast neutron calculations — a key calculation to developed the weapon — and contributed in the calculations in Neutron flux
es. In 1973, Fayyazuddin then traveled to Geneva
, Switzerland
where he became a visiting scientist
European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). At CERN, he purposed the Calibrations and Fayyazuddin-Smith spacetimes, the theory describe intersecting M5-branes
admits a generalized Kähler calibration. Equipped with this understanding, Fayyazuddin and Smith were able to construct spacetimes corresponding to further classes of calibrated p-brane world-volume solitons. The theory also noted that these classes of spacetimes also describe the fields of p-branes wrapping certain supersymmetric cycles of Calabi-Yau manifolds. In 1977, he came back to Pakistan and joined Quaid-i-Azam University where he subsequently became a dean of Faculty of Natural Sciences whereas he also became a professor
of physics. In 1980, he went to Saudia Arabia where he became a full professor of physics at the King Saud University
at Riyadh
; a full professor of physics at the Ummal Qura University
at Makkah where he stayed till 1996. After teaching in Saudia Arabia for more than a decade, Fayyazuddin came back to Pakistan in 2005 where he joined Quaid-i-Azam University
. In 2007, Fayyazuddin joined 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, President of Pakistan
General Pervez Musharraf
conferred on him Pakistan's Second high civilian award
