Education Salam was educated at the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle His doctoral thesis was titled "Quarkonium scattering at high energies". funded by the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC).

Research and career Salam's research explores the ways in which QCD can be exploited to understand elementary particle interactions, notably the Higgs boson, and also how it can be harnessed in the search for new particles. the signatures of quarks and gluons produced in high-energy collisions. He invented the most widely used approach for identifying jets at the Large Hadron Collider. attached to the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris.
