Ibn al-Haytham, in Europe more commonly called by his Latinized name “Alhazen”, was born in the city of Basra in 965 CE. He went to neighborhood schools and moved to Baghdad to study science on a higher level, like many Arab scientists did at that time. However, he may have had some issues with the Fatimid Caliph Al-Hakim bi-amr-Allah, which resulted in him being grounded in 1011. He would be grounded for a couple of years, until the Caliph died in 1021.

Afterwards he moved to Spain to focus on science once again. At the end of his life, he returned to his home country, Egypt, where he died in 1039.
