Dr. Khan received his Doctor of Engineering Degree from the University of Leuven, Belgium in 1972.
After completing his formal education Dr. Khan started his career as a Materials Expert.
He worked as an expert in several organizations in Europe, including the Uranium Enrichment Plant
in Holland, which provided him state-of-the-art experience in nuclear technology.
In 1976, he joined the Engineering Research Laboratories (ERL) in Pakistan to set up an Uranium
enrichment industrial plant.
As a tribute to his services rendered to the defense of Pakistan, the then President of Pakistan, General
Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, renamed the Engineering Research Laboratories, Kahuta as Dr. A. Q. Khan
Research Laboratories (KRL) in 1981.
Over the years, the Laboratories became a focal point for a large number of scientists, engineers and
technologists.
Dr. Khan guided them through the tasks that have led to unparalleled advances in missile and uranium
enrichment technologies. This breakthrough eventually resulted in the historic explosions of six nuclear
bombs on May 28 and May 30,1998 and the successful test firing of Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles
namely "Ghauri", on April 6, 1998 and on April 14, 1999, respectively.
The research areas of Dr. Khan are Metallurgy, Materials Science and Nuclear Engineering. As an active
scientist and technologist, he has published 190 research papers in reputable national and international
journals and two patents in the U.K. are registered in his name. Dr. A. Q. Khan has authored a large
number of books on Metallurgy.
Dr. Khan has received six honorary degrees of Doctor of Science, respectively from the University of
Karachi (July 25, 1993), Baqai Medical University, Karachi (December 11, 1998), Hamdard University,
Karachi (March 6, 1999), Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan, N.W.F.P. (April 16,1999), University of
Engineering & Technology, Lahore (December 9, 2000) and Sir Syed University, Karachi (March 25,
2001). For his important and eminent contributions in the field of science and technology, the President,
Islamic Republic of Pakistan conferred upon Dr. Khan the award of Nishan-i-Imtiaz on 14 August,
1996 and 14 August, 1998. He is also a recipient of Hilal-i-Imtiaz. Dr. Khan is the only Pakistani to have
received the highest civil award of "Nishan-i-Imtiaz" twice.
He has been awarded 63 gold medals and 3 gold crowns by various national institutions and
organizations. He is a Fellow of Kazakh National Academy of Sciences, the first Asian scientist with this
honour. He is also a Fellow of the Islamic Academy of Sciences. Being a Fellow of Pakistan Academy of
Sciences, he was elected President of the Academy an impressive 3rd time in January 2001. He is also a
member of a large number of national and international professional organizations, which include
Pakistan Institute of Metallurgical Engineers; Pakistan Institute of Engineers; Institute of Central and West
Asian Studies; the Institute of Materials, London; American Society of Metal (ASM); The Metallurgical
Society of the American Institute of Metallurgical, Mining and Petroleum Engineers (TMS); Canadian
Institute of Metals (CIM) and Japan Institute of Metals (JIM).
He is an ardent supporter of higher education. As the Project Director of GIK Institute of Science and
Technology, he has invested his energies in developing the Institute into an exemplary high technology
institution. He sits on the Boards of Governors and Syndicates of more than two dozen universities and
institutes. He has contributed immensely to the establishment of educational institutes in Pakistan. These
include several colleges, schools, institutions and academies. So wide are his community services that
his contributions extend to the construction of mosques, tombs, dispensaries and community health
centres to alleviate the plight of poor communities.
