3. Physics
The branch of science concerned with
the nature and properties of matter and
energy. The subject matter of physics
includes mechanics, heat, light and
other radiation, sound, electricity,
magnetism, and the structure of atoms.
Physicist
A physicist is a scientist who specializes
in the field of physics, which
encompasses the interactions of matter
and energy at all length and time scales
in the physical universe.

5. Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose

6. Jagadish Chandra Bose was born in a Bengali
Kayastha family in Munshiganj (Bikrampur) on 30
November 1858. Bose’s education started in a vernicular
school. He graduated from St. Xavier’s College, Calcutta.
He went to the University of London to study medicine, but
could not pursue studies in medicine because of health
problems. Instead, he conducted his research with
the Nobel Laureate Lord Rayleigh at Cambridge and
returned to India. He died on 23 November,1937 at Giridih,
India.
Contribution
He was a Bengali Physicist, Polymath, Botanist,
Biologist, Biophysicist and Archaeologist. He
pioneered in the investigation of radio and
microwave. He is considered as the father of
Bengali science fiction and also invented
Crescograph, a device to measure the
growth of plant.

7. Jamal Nazrul Islam

8. Jamal Nazrul Islam was born on 24 February 1939
in Jhenaidah, Bangladesh. He studied at Chittagong Collegiate School and
College until class ix and then he went to Lawrence College, Murree in West
Pakistan to pass the Senior Cambridge and Higher Senior Cambridge
exams. He received a BSc Degree from St. Xavier’s College at the University
of Calcutta. In 1959, he got his Honors in Functional Mathematics and
Theoretical Physics from Cambridge Univerity. He completed his Masters in
1960. Islam obtained his PhD in applied Mathematics and theoretical
physics from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1968, followed by a DSc in
1982.He died on 16 march 2013 at the age of 74.
Contribution
Jamal Nazrul Islam was a Bangladeshi mathematical physicist and
cosmologist. His research areas include Applied Mathematics, Theoretical
Physics, Mathematical Physics, theory of Gravitation, General Relativity,
Mathematical Cosmology and Quantum Field Theory. He authored/
co-authored/edited more than 50 scientific articles, books and
some popular articles published in various scientific journals.

9. Mohammad Ataul Karim

10. Mohammad Ataul Karim was born on 4
May 1953 in Sylhet, Bangladesh. He attended Shatma Primary for
his elementary education and Patharia Chotolekha High for a year
after which he left home to be schooled at Faujdarhat Cadet
College,Sylhet MC College and the University of Dacca wherefrom
he received his bachelor's honors degree in physics. Karim started
his graduate studies at the University of Alabama in 1976 wherefrom
he earned his master's degrees in physics (1978) and electrical
engineering (1979), and a doctor of philosophy in electrical
engineering.
Contribution
Mohammad Ataul Karim Researches in Biophysics,Nonlinear
Image Processing,Electro Optical Display,Optical Computing
Optical and Hybrid Electro Optical Systems Design,Pattern
Recognition and Maglev train.
He has patents for two discoveries
 Fiber Optic Coupling System (1989)
 Toryary Associative Memory (1993)

11. Dr Zahid Hasan

12. Zahid Hasan is a Bangladeshi physicist. He is
currently working as a professor of physics at Princeton
University of the United State of America. He Secured
second position in the merit list of SSC from Dhanmondi
Govt Boy’s High School in 1986 and secured first position
in HSC from Dhaka College in 1988. He studied physics
and mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin. He
obtained his Ph.D. in 2002 from Stanford University.
Contribution
His research has focused on strongly correlated electron
systems and superconductivity, topological phases, Mott
insulators, Kondo insulators, heavy fermions, quantum
spin chains, exotic superconductors, and topological
quantum matter. He played a pioneering role in
demonstrating weyl fermion materials. He has published
more than 150 research papers.

13. Abdullah Al Mamun

14. Abdullah Al Mamun was born in Dhaka, Bangladesh
on 31 December 1966. He completed his B. Sc. (Hons.) and
M. Sc. (Thesis) in physics from Jahangirnagar University, and
secured first class first position in both the B. Sc. (Hons.) and
M. Sc. (Thesis) Examinations. He successfully completed his
Ph. D. in plasma physics from the University of St Andrews
(UK) .
Contribution
A A Mamun published over 400 research articles.The Institute of
Physics (London) published his textbook on dusty
plasma physics. He researches electrostatic/electromagnetic
