Wanderlust World Wanderlust World No Pakistani scientist has yet won a Nobel Prize in the field of physics. The sole Nobel Prize awarded to a Pakistani citizen to date is the Nobel Peace Prize given to Malala Yousafzai in 2014, shared with Kailash Satyarthi, for their advocacy of children's rights and education.
Pakistan-born theoretical physicist Abdus Salam won the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to electroweak unification theory. However, Salam had become a British citizen by the time of the award, and the prize is officially attributed to the United Kingdom.
