Ahmed Farag Ali
Ahmed Farag Ali (Egyptian Arabic: أحمد فرج علي), is a Lecturer at Faculty of Science, Benha University.[1]
He is known mainly for his works in the field of High Energy Physics, Quantum Gravity and Black holes.[2][3][4][5] He is also a member and blogger at the Scientific American - Arabic section.[6] Some of his physics lectures are also available on youtube.
Career
In 2015, Farag suggested that the universe may have existed forever, according to a new model that applies quantum correction terms to complement Einstein's theory of general relativity. He also proposed that his model may also account for dark matter and dark energy, resolving multiple problems at once.[3] He (with Mir Faizald, Mohammed M. Khalile) also tried to reason lack of black holes at the LHC due to gravity's rainbow.[2] According to INSPIRE-HEP, Ahmed Farag has published around 52 research papers.[7] The following summarizes some of his main academic contributions/qualifications:
- 2012-2016 Lecturer, Physics Department, Faculty of Science, Benha University, Egypt.
- 2013-2015 Research Associate, Center for Fundamental Physics, Zewail City of Science and Technology, Egypt.
- 2008-2012 Doctoral student and Teaching assistant at University of Lethbridge, Alberta, CANADA
- 2008-2005 M. Sc. student and Demonstrator at Benha University, Benha, EGYPT.
- 2006-2007 Diploma student at High Energy Physics Dept at ICTP, Trieste, ITALY.
Awards
Along with his academic work, Farag has received several honors and awards.
- 2016 - Received the Young Affiliates in The World Academy of Science.[8]
- 2016 - Received Honorable Mention by Gravity Research Foundation on his paper in estimating the graviton’s mass from quantum corrections on general relativity.[9]
- Several Awards by Benha University
