Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU) Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Physics Department academic staff member Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ali Övgün gave a speech entitled "Can we spot black holes in modified gravity theories?" as an invited speaker at Bilkent University, Department of Applied Mathematics. In his speech, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Övgün talked about whether black holes have “hair” with the images obtained by the Event Horizon Telescope from Meisser 87 and the giant black holes in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, whether different charges will show different quantum properties, and current research to help understand the implications of the quantum gravitational theory, where quantum mechanics and general relativity are considered together.
Around 80 international scientists, who are experts in their fields, were invited to the academic event of Ankara Bilkent University, Department of Applied Mathematics which held every Monday in the 2022-23 Academic Year and organized under the name of Bilkent Applied Mathematics Seminars (BAMS) (http://www.fen.bilkent.edu.tr/~cvmath/sem-now.html).
