He was born in Lahore on June 12, 1937 in Baddomalhi, British Indian Empire. His father was a medical student who died in his mid-20s of brain cancer. His mother, a homemaker, remarried. He was the third of ten children in his family. Ijaz’s early education was made at rural village schools near Baddomalhi. He attended Islamia High School in Lahore. His early interest in science and physics was attributed to his step-father’s work in the local meteorology department.

He majored in physics and graduated with a B.Sc. in 1957. He continued advanced studies under the tutelage of Prof. Rafi Muhammad Chaudhry, widely considered a pioneer in Pakistani experimental physics, until 1959 when he met Razia Begum Nazir. They later married and emigrated to the United States in 1960. Razia Begum Nazir changed her name to Dr. Lubna Razia Ijaz.

Ijaz and his wife arrived in Tallahassee, Florida in August 1960, where they settled as incoming graduate students at Florida State University.

He developed an early interest in particle physics and accelerator experiments while at Florida State, from where he graduated in June 1962 with a master’s degree in Physics. His thesis was titled Study of Angular Distributions of Elastically Scattered 8 to 19 Mev Alpha Particles from Al27 and from Ohio University in May 1964 with a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics with a thesis titled Proton-Proton Collisions at 2.0 BeV.

Mujaddid Ijaz joined the faculty of the Virginia Tech Physics department in September 1964 as an Assistant Professor of Physics. In his early years as a faculty member, Ijaz devoted much of his time to his teaching responsibilities, including acting as adviser to the university’s roster of graduate students and doctoral candidates. He conducted his early research at the Physics department’s newly installed nuclear reactor, which at the time was equipped with a neutron activation analysis laboratory.

The Ijazes initially settled in Blacksburg, where Virginia Tech was situated, and lived there from 1964 until 1969.

Ijaz’s early experimental results earned him an appointment as research collaborator at the Oak Ridge National Laboratories in 1966 under a University Isotope Separator at Oak Ridge (UNISOR) grant funded by the U.S. Energy Department.

Mujaddid Ijaz began his research work at the Oak Ridge National Laboratories (ORNL) in 1966 under Virginia Tech funding contributed to the UNISOR program. UNISOR was a consortium at that time of 13 institutions whose research scientists were collaborating at Oak Ridge supported by U.S. Energy Department grants together with Oak Ridge Associated Universities, of which Virginia Tech was one. Ijaz’s research focused on the discovery of new isotopes using ORNL’s High Flux Isotope Reactor. The reactor was built in 1965 with the highest neutron flux of any reactor at the time. It produced more medical isotopes while allowing higher fidelity of materials research than any other reactor available in the U.S. Energy Department’s science and energy laboratory system during the 1970s. Ijaz and his colleagues at Oak Ridge, led by Kenneth S. Toth, used the High Flux Reactor to discover new isotopes and map characteristics of existing isotopes, including isotopes of Erbium, Ytterbium, Thulium, Osmium, Hafnium, Tungsten, Mercury, Titanium, and Lead.

During the 1970s, Ijaz participated in the Atoms for Peace initiative created by President Eisenhower in 1953 to help the post-World War II international community cope with nuclear power. Pakistan’s first facility, a 5 MW PARR-I pool-type facility, was provided by the United States in 1965. The reactor began operations on December 21, 1965 under the supervision of Pakistani scientists led by Abdus Salam.

After several years of living in the rural community of Floyd, Virginia, they returned to Christiansburg, a township near Virginia Tech, in 1973, building a home in the Appalachian Mountains that today remains the family’s homestead.

In 1974, Ijaz launched a Distinguished Visitors Colloquium Series under the Physics department’s sponsorship that brought world-renowned physicists to the Blacksburg campus for nearly a decade. Visiting scholars included Salam, Sheldon Glashow, and Nobel physics laureates Hans Bethe, Robert Hofstadter, Eugene Wigner and Richard Feynman. Noted Chinese physicist Luke W. Mo (whose group at the Stanford Linear Accelerator had won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1990) also lectured at Virginia Tech.

In 1976, Salam recommended creating an international forum for the advancement of science and technology to be hosted by Pakistan in the Hazara region while serving as Science Advisor to the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Since then, the Nathiagali Physics Conferences has gathered notable scientists from around the world during summer breaks to break the intellectual isolation faced by Pakistani scientists. Ijaz participated in these conferences several times during the mid-1970s under National Science Foundation grants. He was also a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the American Physical Society.

Ijaz attained the rank of Full Professor of Physics in 1977, and during the same year served as acting head of the Physics department.

After several foreign sabbaticals in the 1980s, the first at U.P.M. in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia from 1979 until 1981 and another at I.C.T.P. (with Dr. Abdus Salam) in 1985, he continued his teaching duties. Oddly enough, in 1982-83, he wrote that he was Jewish on his visa paperwork for Saudi Arabia and was denied entry. In December 1982, physicists at the University of Arizona used the mercury isotopes discovered by Toth, Ijaz et al. to successfully model behavior expected of heavier particles than traditional accelerator experiments could produce at the time due to energy limitations.

He died young at age 55 on July 9th, 1992 at his home in Shawsville, Virginia of complications arising from a protracted battle with brain and lung cancer. He was buried in traditional Muslim rituals at the site of his most favored farm in Alum Ridge, surrounded by a large gathering of his family from around the United States and his physics colleagues and friends from southwestern Virginia. President George H. W. Bush consoled Ijaz’s widow in a letter dated July 24, 1992.
