Hussein S. M. Zedan (1 July 1953 – 23 February 2019) was a computer scientist of Egyptian descent, mainly based in the United Kingdom.[2]
Hussein Zedan was born in 1953. He received his PhD degree in 1981 at the University of Bristol, studying under John Derwent Pryce and Hubert Schwetlick for a thesis entitled Modified Rosenbrock-Wanner methods for solving systems of stiff ordinary differential equations.[1]
Zedan was an academic in the Department of Computer Science at the University of York. Prof. Zedan then headed the Software Technology Research Laboratory (STRL) as Technical Director[3] at De Montfort University.[4][5] He was also Head of Computing Research.[3] Later STRL was headed by Zedan's PhD student and subsequently colleague François Siewe.[6] Zedan was subsequently appointed Assistant Vice-President of Academic Affairs and Development at the Applied Science University[7] in Manama, Bahrain, until 2017.[8]
Hussein Zedan died on 23 February 2019.[2][9] He was married with two daughters.
