Theoretical Physicist Abdus Salam

Take a sneak peek at theoretical physicist Abdus Salam's office. 

The picture was taken in 1983, four years after he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics with Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg. They made significant contributions to the electroweak unification theory.

For more than forty years, Abdus Salam was a prolific researcher in theoretical elementary particle physics. During this time, he either pioneered or was associated with all the important developments in this field, maintaining a constant and fertile flow of brilliant ideas. Besides his scientific work, he served on a number of United Nations committees concerned with the advancement of science and technology in developing countries.

He used his share of the Nobel Prize award money for the benefit of physicists from developing countries.
