Faheem Hussain (31 July 1942 – 29 September 2009), was a Pakistani theoretical physicist and a professor of physics at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS).
[citation needed] His family moved to West Pakistan shortly before the Partition of India on 14 August 1947.
[3][4] After receiving his double BSc(Hons) in Mathematics and Physics from Forman Christian College in 1960, he moved to the Great Britain.
Prior to this, Hussain moved to Geneva, Switzerland and joined the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
There, with Juergen Koerner, George Thompson and others, he calculated relativistic-wave functions for hadrons and used Salam's formalism to develop a variant of the heavy quark effective theory.
[1] Hussain, along with Riazuddin, Fayyazuddin, and Hamid Saleem, carried out a research on the string theory and published in the field of mathematical physics.
He there began his work and published articles in the field of Extra dimensions, Noncommutative geometry, and the string theory.
[6] He was widely respected by his colleagues, collaborators and students, for both his academic brilliance and principled stance on ideals of democracy and freedom of speech.
