  • CV

I am associate Professor in physics, Head of Math and Science department . I got my PhD In Physics, from The Queen’s University (U.K.). My PhD project concerned the physics of 2D foam. This work was characterized by innovative experimental approaches and careful analysis. It set new standards in the field and settled two separate controversies in a rather final way. I also found novel and quite unexpected phenomena, which are still only partly understood. I have an interest in a number of areas like: Optics-Lasers, Spectroscopy, Optical System Technology – Any area where science is applied.
