Biography

Saleem was born in 1934, and received in his BA with Honors in Mathematics, followed by MA in Mathematics, and MSc in physics from the University of Punjab.[1]:xi[2] He was further educated in the United Kingdom where he received BSc in First class honours in Physics.:xi[2] Upon returning, he entered in doctoral program in his alma mater, and successfully defended his doctoral thesis in physics in 1962.:xi[2]

He was the founding director of the Centre for High Energy Physics (CHEP), and served in the faculty of physics at the University of Florida in the United States.[3] He was the author of text of modern physics, namely quantum mechanics, special relativity, and high-energy physics, written in collaboration with mathematician, Dr. Muhammad Rafique, which have been published internationally.[4][5]

On 2 January 2016, Saleem died in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, and is buried in Punjab University's graveyard.[1]
