Abdul Jabbar Abdullah (1911–1969) fue un físico iraquí de la teoría de las ondas, meteorológico dinámico, Presidente emérito de la Universidad de Baghdad y estudiante de Albert Einstein. Abdullah obtuvo el grado de Doctor en Ciencia en meteorología del Instituto de tecnología de Massachusetts antes de ser nombrado el jefe de la asociación de profesores de Iraq, y el presidente del Departameto de Física en el College of Education, en Baghdad.
Abdul Jabbar Abdullah (1911–1969) was an Iraqi wave theory physicist, dynamical meteorologist, President Emeritus of Baghdad University,[1] and a student of Albert Einstein's.[2] Abdullah earned his Sc.D. degree in meteorology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1946,[3][4] before being appointed head of the Iraqi Teacher Association, and then chairman of the Department of Physics, College of Education, Baghdad. In 1952, he became a visiting research professor in meteorology at New York University, and in 1965 he joined the National Center for Atmospheric Research as a scientific visitor.
In his memoir,[2] nuclear physicist Khidir Hamza claims Abdullah not only taught him, but was also instrumental in getting the former into MIT to pursue a Master's degree in Nuclear Engineering after Hamza's initial rejection by the institute. Khidir Hamza later became part of Iraq's nuclear research program, before defecting to the United States and testifying on the program before the Senate.
A member of the Communist party, Abdullah was harassed towards the end of his life and arrested after the rise of the Ba'ath party to power. He then fled to the United States and died in 1969.
Research
editarAbdullah's research interests included cloud stratification,[5] Solitary waves,[6] pressure pumps.[7]
Bibliography
editarAbdullah has published multiple books on atmospheric sciences, and was the editor and publisher of Iraq's sole science journal in the 1950s: "Proceedings of the Iraqi Scientific Society".

Legacy
editarAbdul Jabbar Abdullah is highly regarded by Iraqis, who commemorated his 100th birthday in Iraq and in the diaspora. A hall in the University of Baghdad is named after him as well as numerous streets.
