Professor Abdus Salam (1926-1996) joined the Theoretical Physics group at Imperial College London in 1957 after persuasion from the Head of Physics, Lord Patrick Blackett, and remained until his death in 1996. A Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Professor Salam co-authored works on topics including spontaneous symmetry breaking, unitary symmetries and electroweak unification (winning the 1979 Nobel Prize for the latter).
