Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, often hailed as the father of Pakistan’s nuclear program, is a pivotal figure in the country’s scientific and political landscape. Born on April 1, 1936, in Bhopal, India, Khan’s early life was marked by the partition of India in 1947, which led his family to migrate to Pakistan. His journey from a refugee to a national hero underscores a narrative of resilience, patriotism, and scientific ingenuity.
Education and Early Career
Khan pursued his education in metallurgical engineering at the University of Karachi, graduating in 1960. He later moved to Europe for advanced studies, earning a master’s degree from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and a doctorate from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium. His focus on metallurgy and engineering would prove crucial in his later work on nuclear technology.
