Dr. Prof. Noor Muhammad Butt or N. M. Butt is a Pakistani nuclear physicist, research scientist and chairman of Pakistan Science foundation from 2005 to 2008 and the Chairman of the National Commission on Nano-Science and Technology (NCNST) from 2003 to date. He is an elected fellow of Pakistan Academy of Sciences and Islamic Academy of Sciences. Butt is an eminent educationist of Pakistan. Dr. Butt is from amongst the very few in Pakistan who attained Doctor of Science, the highest degree of Science. He also has the distinction of being the first Pakistani to obtain this degree. His given names are usually abbreviated to N. M. Butt. Dr. N. M. Butt has published far numbering research articles in national and international research journals. He has given credit to trained a large number of young scientists. Due to his contribution, he was conferred with Sitara-i-Imtiaz by then-Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif. Dr. N. M. Butt is also a representative in Pakistan Council for Meetings of Nobel Laureates, which he was elected in 2003. He is a highly cited researcher in the field of Mossbauer Effect.
[edit] Early Life and EducationNoor Muhammad Butt was born in Sialkot in 1936. He received his elementary and intermediate education from there. He completed his matriculation from Murray College. In 1951, he attended Punjab University, majoring in applied physics. He received his B.Sc in Applied Physics from Punjab University in 1955. In 1957, he received his M.Sc. with experimental specialization in the Nuclear Physics under the “Nuclear Father of Pakistan”, Prof. Rafi Muhammad Chaudhry, the Head of the Department of Physics at the Government College. Under the dr. Chaudhry's supervision, N. M. Butt studied in the nuclear physics and also supervised the M.Sc. thesis in experimental nuclear physics using 1.2 MeV Cockcrof-Walton Nuclear Accelerator installed at the College. The thesis was on the nuclear reactions when the protons from this accelerator strike the nuclear target of lithium produce a nuclear reaction, breaking the atomic nucleus of lithium. The same year he joined Government College, Lahore, as a physics Lecturer. He stayed there until 1961. [edit] Academic Career in Europe and ICTPDr. N. M. Butt joined PAEC in 1961 as a Principle Scientific Officer. The same year, he won Commonwealth Scholarship and PAEC Scholarship. Later, he went to United Kingdom where he attended University of Birmingham. During the same period Butt learned the course on the Kinetic theory of solids from Prof. Rudolf Peierls, a leading member and senior scientist who participated in the Manhattan Project and who was till working as the Head of the implosion device being developed under this project in early 40’s. Thus, at Birmingham University during his studies for Ph.D., N. M. Butt was lucky to be a student of three world known nuclear professors whose names form part of the nuclear history of the world. Later, Butt had a rich and full interaction with a large number of nuclear and material scientists of over 25 countries during his lectures and seminars at the laboratories of these countries of the East and the West. In 1967, he received his Ph.D. in nuclear physics under the supervision of dr. Philip Burton Moon. He joined Department of Nuclear Physics, Birmingham University, where he earned the degree of D.Sc. Thereafter. In 1968, he became a distinguished professor of nuclear physics at University of Birmingham. In 1970, he left University of Birmingham and moved to Trieste, Italy, where he joined ICTP. In 1975, he won the Associate ICTP Award in Nuclear Physics. In 1979, due to his contribution to Solid State Physics, he was awarded Senior ICTP Award in Solid State Physics. [edit] PAEC Career and Later LifeButt re-joined PAEC as a nuclear physicist in 1975. He was later transferred to PINSTECH, where he was appointed head of Nuclear Physics Department (NPD). In 1984, he became a Associate Director of PINSTECH; later he became a director in 1991. In 1996, he was appointed Director General of PINSTECH by then-PAEC Chairman dr. Ishfaq Ahmad. In 1995, he was elected President of Pakistan Nuclear Society. Dr. N. M. Butt visted Cern along with the-PAEC Chairman dr.Ishfaq Ahmad in 1997. The same year PAEC, under the leadership of dr. Ishfaq Ahmad, reached a with CERN after elaborate discussions an in-kind contribution worth one million Swiss francs for the construction of eight magnet supports for the CMS detector. Dr. N. M Butt closely worked with dr. Ishfaq Ahmad in the field of nuclear physics where they produced numerous physics articles. In 1998, he retired from PAEC as a Chief Scientist.and as Director General of PINSTECH. He was made Scientist of Emeritus in this Institute to which he is still attached. In 2000, he was elected President of Pakistan Physical Society. On October 2003, he was appointed as National Commission on Nano-Science and Technology (NCNST). In 2005 he was appointed as Chairman of Pakistan Science Foundation. [edit] Awards and honors
