Born and brought up in Maharashtra, Najid Hussain came to Ahmedabad
(Gujarat) to earn a Ph.D. at the Physical Research Laboratory. It
is there that he met and married Nishrin Hussain, the daughter of
late Ahsan Jafri. Soon after, the Hussains moved to Bath (U.K.)
where Dr. Hussain worked at Bath University as a Post-doctoral Fellow
and subsequently as a Senior Scientific Officer at Camborne School
of Mines, Cornwall. On invitation from a colleague at the University
of Delaware, Dr. Hussain left England to come to the US and joined
the College of Marine Studies at the University of Delaware, where
he currently serves as a Research Scientist. Beside science, his
interests include sports, journalism and teaching. He has written
several articles on the issue of religious unity, communal acceptance
and the need to eliminate elements of fascism from society. In the
aftermath of the Gujarat violence and the brutal killing of his
father-in-law, Dr. Hussain has visited Gujarat and described his
findings in a series of articles and seminars. He was recently invited
to testify before the US Commission on International Religious Freedom
in Washington DC.
The Hussains are also the proud parents of two
boys.
