Abdullah Sadiq, PhD, SI (born 1940), is a Pakistani physicist and ICTP laureate who received the ICTP Prize in the honour of Nikolay Bogolyubov, in the fields of Mathematics and Solid State Physics in 1987 for his contributions to scientific knowledge in the field of Mathematics and Statistical physics. He is the professor of physics and current Dean of the Department of Physics of the Air University of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF).
Sadiq is also a renowned educationist of Pakistan with a specialisation in nuclear physics, solid-state physics, and computer programming. He has been a distinguished professor of nuclear physics and solid state physics in many universities of Pakistan.
He did his early education from Islamia Collegiate School. Therefore, after his Matriculation from Islamia Collegiate school, Sadiq joined the Islamia College Peshawar in 1958. Influenced by Abdus Salam and his work, Sadiq studied for his double major in Physics and Mathematics, and learned the Zeeman effect, light interferences using the Pérot and Michelson interferometer. In 1962, Sadiq obtained his BSc in Physics, and a minor in Mathematics. In 1967, Abdullah Sadiq attended Peshawar University where he joined the Physics Department as a graduate student, and taught courses in Mathematics. In 1969, he received his MSc in physics under the supervision of physicist Abdul Majid Mian from the University of Peshawar. His mentor, Abdul Majid Mian refused to recommend him for a job after his college degree and instead advised him to gain doctrate in physics.
