*Nobel laureate in Physics for his work on the
 electroweak unification of the electromagnetic and
 weak forces
*notable achievements: electroweak theory, Pati-
 Salam model, Magnetic photon, Vector meson, Grand
 Unified Theory
*founded in 1964 by Abdus Salam
*Sponsored by tripartite agreement between Italy,
 UNESCO and IAEA
