| Biography | | Dr. Hussein is a Professor of Physics at the Instituto de Fisica, Universidade de São Paolo, Brazil. A theoretical physicist with wide interests, he has made noteworthy contributions in four areas, namely laser driven accelerators, theoretical nuclear physics, quantum chaos theory and theory of Bose-Einstein condensation. In particular, he has developed a reaction theory for exotic nuclei, a detailed model for the excitation and decay of multiple giant resonances and has studied in detail fundamental symmetry violation in nuclei. A member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences, he holds the highest Federal Brazilian Agency CNPq fellowship since 1982. He was awarded a J.S. Guggenheim Fellowship in 1987.
