- Aneesur Rahman (24 August 1927 – 6 June 1987) pioneered the application of computational methods to physical systems. His 1964 paper on liquid argon studied a system of 864 argon atoms on a CDC 3600 computer, using a Lennard-Jones potential. His algorithms still form the basis for many codes written today. Moreover, he worked on a wide variety of problems, such as the microcanonical ensemble approach to lattice gauge theory, which he invented with David J E Callaway. Aneesur Rahman was a native of Hyderabad, India. He earned his undergraduate degree in physics and mathematics from Cambridge University in England and his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Louvain University in Belgium. In 1960, Dr. Rahman began a 25-year tenure as a physicist at the Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne, Ill.) (operated by the University of Chicago). In 1985, Dr. Rahman joined the faculty at the University of Minnesota as a professor of physics and fellow at the Supercomputer Institute. Dr. Rahman is known as the father of molecular dynamics, a discipline of physics that utilizes computers to simulate microscopic behavior of physical systems. In 1977 Dr. Rahman was awarded the Irving Langmuir Prize by the American Physical Society. Enrico Fermi's Group (at Los Alamos during the 1950s), George Vineyard's group (radiation damage studies at Brookhaven in 1960), as well as Tom Wainwright and Berni Alder's group (at the Livermore Radiation Laboratory in the 1950s) developed generalized leapfrog and event-driven molecular dynamics algorithms a bit earlier than Rahman. Berni Alder received a National Medal of Science award from President Obama in 2009. The American Physical Society annually awards the Aneesur Rahman Prize for outstanding achievement in computational research. First awarded in 1993, the Aneesur Rahman Prize is the highest honour in the field of computational physics given by the American Physical Society. Argonne National Laboratory offers a special postdoctoral fellowship named after Aneesur Rahman to be awarded internationally on an annual basis to an outstanding doctoral scientist who is at an early point in a promising career.

- Aneesur Rahman (* 24. August 1927 in Hyderabad; † 6. Juni 1987 in Minneapolis) war ein indischer Physiker. Rahman studierte Physik und Mathematik an der Universität Cambridge und wurde an der Universität Löwen in theoretischer Physik promoviert. Ab 1960 war er am Argonne National Laboratory, wo er bis 1985 blieb, als er Professor an der University of Minnesota wurde und am Supercomputer Institute der Universität war. Er gilt als einer der Begründer der molekularen Dynamik, der Simulation des Verhaltens einer Menge von Molekülen mit Computern. 1964 simulierte er das Verhalten von 864 Argon-Molekülen, mit Wechselwirkung nach dem Lennard-Jones-Potential auf einem CDC 3600 Computer. Mit Michele Parrinello entwickelte er 1980 die der molekularen Dynamik In den 1980er Jahren entwickelte er mit David Callaway das Verfahren des mikrokanonischen Ensembles in der Gittereichtheorie. 1977 erhielt er den Irving Langmuir Award. Die American Physical Society vergibt seit 1993 den nach ihm benannten Aneesur-Rahman-Preis für Leistungen in Computerphysik. (de)
