[Raqs-e-Sharar]

Is it our national character that we dont pay tribute ..acknowledge and even consider the 'Silent Heroes' for what they are doing for Pakistan and islamic world. We kept that Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan under seige who made aur defence unbeatable and gave us the most dangerous weapon of 1400 years.Media is so powerful today and 160 million people hear you daily.Why dont you not even mention this man who is the most genius man of the islamic world burning Cairo and Cordova flames after 1000 years...Your voice heard is whole Pakistan...not even a single column..not even a single news of this wonderful man what he is doing for Pakistan.He is so humble that he never show off for his work..but you people are the intellegencia..the intellectual core of Pakistan society...Your voice about him will be source of inspiration for thousands of curious science students of Pakistan.Look below what this man is doing for Pakistan and Ummah so silently !



Can anybody tell us.....

Whats in its body.....

blood...

or fire...

Bharkhti Aag nachhti hai is bandadai kee rago mai.....

in 2008...just in 7 months...this man...who is the General Secretary of Khwarzimic Science Society has arranged all this for students of Pakistan for Rs. 0.0

Apart from that ..he is one of the most genius man of the islamic world..as accepted by many people....a 26 year Doctrate from Oxford as Rhodes Scholar and Youngest PhD Advisor of Pakistan from HEC....,Pakistan leading Nanotechnologist and Quantum Computational expert.... the only Pakistani who got 779/850 in matriculation and just after that in just few months also gave O Level exams and got 9-A's, the Hall of Fame of Government College 78 years Debating History defeated the deabters of the whole world in an international debating contest...,worked on first Liquid State Quantum Computer of the World at Oxford,A former student of UET,Lahore,one and only Muhammad Sabieh Anwar

Do you know the reason.....?????



This is because..in hot summer ..and months in Pakistan ...in 2004...he used to go to Pakistan top most educational institutions to teach the science and engineering students ...totally free..about the latest research going on in the world....on his motor cycle...


On his bike...in 45 Celsius.....from Punjab University ..to Goverment Collge...from UET..to COMSAT..from LUMS..to Quada-i-Azam ,University, Islamabad ...

He used to go Islambad ..3 days in a week...on Niazi Bus Service.. ..from Lahore and back to Lahore ....where he was giving lectures in Punjab University..UET..and GC etc etc...He could earn 6 lakh Rs ..easily with any world top most University in US or UK ....

but he was riding his Honda 70 ...on Lahore Roads ..in 45 Celsius ..to give this nation..and ummah..all...which he gained at Oxford and Berkeley . !!!!!

1000 runners , greedy..hawis parast doctors ..and professionals...members of AAPNA which have run from Pakistan ...for money..can be sacrifised on the boot toe of such a patriot..dedicated..selfless..and one of the top most science scholar of islamic world....for what he did for Pakistan and Ummah.....and still is doing....!!!!

Here is an article of one of the world best laboratory..Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory...interestingly Sabieh Anwar after Oxford went to same Lawrence Berekeley Laboratory..one of few muslims in history ..who have a chance to work in this laboratory...



Lawrence Berkeley Lab at a Glance


11 — Nobel Laureates
13 — National Medal of Science members
61 — National Academy of Science members
$700 Million — Contributed to the local economy
800 — University students trained each year
4,000 — Employees
200 — Site acreage


In the world of science, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is synonymous with “excellence.” Eleven scientists associated with Berkeley Lab have won the Nobel Prize and 55 Nobel Laureates either trained here or had significant collaborations with our Laboratory. Thirteen of our scientists have won the National Medal of Science, our nation's highest award for lifetime achievement in fields of scientific research. As of 2008, there have been 61 Berkeley Lab scientists elected into the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), considered one of the highest honors for a scientist in the United States. This translates to approximately three-percent of the total NAS membership, an unparalleled record of achievement. Eighteen of our engineers have been elected to the National Academy of Engineering, and two of our scientists have been elected into the Institute of Medicine. In addition, Berkeley Lab has trained thousands of university science and engineering students who are advancing technological innovations across the nation and around the world.

Berkeley Lab is a member of the national laboratory system supported by the U.S. Department of Energy through its Office of Science. It is managed by the University of California (UC) and is charged with conducting unclassified research across a wide range of scientific disciplines. Located on a 200 acre site in the hills above the UC Berkeley campus that offers spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay, Berkeley Lab employs approximately 4,000 scientists, engineers, support staff and students. Its budget for 2008 was approximately $600 million. Studies estimate the Laboratory’s overall economic impact through direct, indirect and induced spending on the nine counties that make up the San Francisco Bay Area to be nearly $700 million annually. The overall economic impact on the global economy is an estimated $1.4 billion a year. Technologies developed at Berkeley Lab have generated billions of dollars in revenues, and thousands of jobs. Savings as a results of Berkeley Lab developments in lighting and windows, and other energy-efficient technologies, have also been in the billions of dollars.


Dr. Chu prsent Director of this lab is Nobel Physics Laureate of 1997

October 23, 2008

BERKELEY, CA - Another step towards quantum computing – the Holy Grail of data processing and storage – was achieved when an international team of scientists that included researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) were able to successfully store and retrieve information using the nucleus of an atom.John Morton of Oxford University was the lead author. Co-authoring the paper from Berkeley Lab were Thomas Schenkel, Eugene Haller and Joel Ager. Other co-authors were Richard Brown, Brendon Lovett and Arzhang Ardavan of Oxford University, and Alexei Tyryshkin, Shyam Shankar and Stephen Lyon, of Princeton, University.

Tête-à-Tête with Sabieh Anwar




Humble, modest and amicable… he is an epitome of what every UET student dreams to become one day. One of the youngest PhD from Oxford, a Rhodes Scholar of Pakistan, recipient of Aizaz-e-Sabqat and Nishan-e-Haider (Government of Pakistan), founder and joint secretary of Khawarizmic Science Society, a World Class Orator and yet he is just an ordinary mortal. He is a strong critic of the semester system and believes that there shouldn’t be immense academic pressure on students. Even though he is an advocate of academic strictness in UET, he feels that there should be more social and intellectual freedom. His father has always been his major inspiration. He highly appreciates the egalitarianism and justice which is prevalent in the western society but, irrespective of that, he chose to return to his native country because he feels that he can make a difference here. Dr. Sabieh was kind enough to give some of his precious time to “Electrical ICON” and share with us the memories of his golden days at UET and his valuable experiences on his journey to success.




ICON: Tell us something about your family background?
I come from an educational background. My father is a professor at the Centre of Solid State Physics, Punjab University and my mother is a homeopath. From the very beginning, I was deeply interested in sciences.



ICON: Was physics a god-gifted talent or did you work for it?
Well, you can only acquire things naturally to a certain extent. Physics is not like poetry or music or art which you have an innate talent for; physics has to be learnt.



ICON: As a student, how did you manage your time? Did you participate in extra-curriculars?
I was always very keen on extra-curricular activities. I used to read a lot and debate as well. At UET, we were a part of the Khawarizmic Science Society which was very active and it was unsurpassed in all of its activities till about 2002. I was very actively involved in KSS.




ICON: What do you think is your biggest strength?
Well one thing is very important if
you really want to make a mark and that is not being materialistic. If you try to be materialistic, that will be a big chain on your foot. That will actually impede your performance and hold you back from achieving things. Secondly, you should never be an over ambitious achiever. There are students whose first and last goals are to achieve something. At any cost, they want to be at the top. At UET, I was never at the top of my class because I realized that there are other things to life.



ICON: All these years, what was your driving force?
My driving force is the passion I have for my work. I have strong faith in what I am doing and I thoroughly enjoy my work.



ICON: What is your biggest achievement, in your opinion, so far?
Well, everything is relative. At one stage of my life I considered one success as my biggest achievement and at another stage I considered another success as my true success but when you look at things back in retrospect your successes seem very meager.



ICON: Were your achievements a result of careful and calculated planning?
I do not plan. I am not a great planer. After my engineering, I never knew where I would end up. I never took the GRE. I never applied for universities. I just struck upon one opportunity for a Phd; I applied for it and I got it.



ICON: After your FSc, why did you choose UET as an engineering institution?
At that time, I did not think that I was doing the right thing. I was not very fond of electrical engineering but when I think of it now, I give credit to my father who told me to pursue electrical engineering in UET. Today I think that coming to UET was a very good decision. My four years in UET have been amazing and engineering has really opened my mental vistas.




ICON: What has UET added to you as a person?
When we were in UET, semester system had not been introduced, and as a consequence we had an ample amount of free time. The two years spent in FSc were very compressed. However, in comparison to that there was no academic pressure in UET, so I could do whatever I liked to. Also, UET has a very rich culture. There are people from all kinds of backgrounds and one gets a chance to communicate with them, interact with them, and learn about them. This enables one to grow as a person




ICON: Which were your favorite subjects in UET?
I was always captivated by subjects that revolved around physics. My favorite was electromagnetic theory, taught by Dr Imran Mufti and Control theory which was taught by Mr. Masood. Ahmed (May Allah Bless his soul).




ICON: What did you particularly like about them?
Well, I liked their interactivity. When you look at a teacher you can tell whether he is passionate about his subject or not. You can tell if a teacher is teaching from his mind or his heart. If he is teaching from his heart, his tongue and his gestures will be in consensus with his heart. You can tell whether a teacher actually wants to impart the wisdom of that subject to you or just throw information at you.





ICON: Tell us about your final year project?
My final year project was a project related to bio-medical engineering. There is a method of measuring blood pressure known as the oscillo-metric method. In this method, you apply pressure on the artery and you look at its oscillations in order to measure the pressure. We looked at the oscillations and we did some dynamical system analysis on those oscillations.




ICON: How did you choose this final year project?
I was interested in the Cardio-Vascular-System and I was fortunate enough to received help from PIC (Punjab Institute Of Cardiology). This project really inspired me. Moreover, it was something different from what other people were doing.




ICON: Did you have a mentor?
My mentor was in Crescent Model School.. He was our urdu teacher Tahir Shadani (late). He has had the max influence on me. He taught us for five years. He was very old and one of the few remnants of the great classic era of teaching of languages. He taught us urdu, arabic , persion and poetry.




ICON: If you can go back to UET and do your engineering again, is their anything you would like to change in your four years of UET?
I would do everything the same.




ICON: In your opinion, what do UET students lack?
UET gets the best students. It’s unlike LUMS, it gets raw talent. It
gets the finest potential from across the country all belonging to different financial backgrounds. The lament of the day is that much of that talent goes to waste due to a lack of inspirational teaching. Students have been trained in a particular way, they have come from typical mindsets, and when they come to UET, they haven’t received any training in their previous 15 to 16 years. The stay in their colleges is very short-lived. Therefore, it’s very difficult to put any blame on those students or hold them answerable. They have never been shown how good they can actually be. They have never been given a role model.




ICON: What to you think about the curriculum of EE?
The curriculum has now modernized as compared to when I was a student. Even then, full advantage of these courses can be realized if teaching is improved. What a student needs is not text or notes, it’s the inspiration. The role of university education is not to relegate info to students rather to build their character and character building comes from inspiration and that inspiration comes from teaching. ICON: What should the students of UET do in order to grow as people?
The blessing of UET is that it gives you freedom so students should indulge in some activity. For instance, some literary activity or some sport. They should go beyond the text books. They should think about national issues, political issues. They should think about the world around them. They should go into their surroundings and have some impact on them.




ICON: What did you do once UET finished?
I always wanted to do a PhD and then the Rhodes scholarship came along. At that time, there were 2 scholarships for Pakistani’s but now they only have one. They accept applications then shortlist a few applicants and interview them. When I applied for a PhD in physics and I had an engineering background so they were skeptical whether I would be able to do a PhD in physics and whether Oxford would grant me an admission in physics with my EE background. But then in the end, it all worked out fine.




ICON: Whats the purpose of Education

“The role of a university education is not to relegate info to students rather to
build their character and character building comes from inspiration and that
inspiration comes from teaching”

Also, I think that UET students should consider themselves lucky. Even if one wants to go abroad for higher studies, it’s very good to have an undergrad degree in Pakistan, because that tells you what Pakistan really is. That tells you that you belong to this country; otherwise you become a very confused personality. If you stay in UET for four years, interact with the crowd that makes UET, you are very lucky because then you know what kinds of problems prevail, what opportunities are accessible and you can pin your heart here in this country




ICON: Of all the educational institutions you have studied in, which has been closest to your heart?
My school has played its essential part. My mentor played his part. My college was great as well. Even though I was there for my FSc, but I wasn’t a typical FSc student. I enjoyed every part of my college. When I went there, I felt that I was a part of a long tradition. Then UET was just amazing. Oxford was a marvelous place as well. Again, it had very good extra curricular opportunities.
So, its very difficult to decide.



ICON: Did you do extra-curricular in Oxford as well?
I did a lot of extra curricular in Oxford. I did not, however, pursue my science society over there. In two years, I organized and worked very hard to host two national symposiums; one on Iqbal and the other on Indo-Persian poetry. These were very successful symposiums.




ICON: Tell us something about Quantum Computing?
Quantum computing is using quantum mechanics to do information processing. Classical computing would deal with a large no. of electrons moving from one place to another or an ensemble of electrons residing on a gate, but when we look at a single electron or a few electrons then we can’t use classical physics to explain the devices and we need quantum mechanics.




ICON: What would you say to those UET students who want to take up this field?
I would recommend that it’s a very rich field. It’s at the interface of EE, computer science, physics, complexity theory, thermodynamics and mathematics. It’s a very cross disciplinary field.
