Ali Ovgun

Ali Ovgun is an Associate Professor at the Eastern Mediterranean University, affiliated with the Faculty of Arts & Sciences and the Department of Physics. His research focuses on theoretical physics, particularly in black hole dynamics, wormhole stability, and quantum gravity.

• Education: PhD in Physics (2016), MS in Physics (2013), BS in Physics (2010).

His work explores gravitational lensing, Hawking radiation, and nonlinear electrodynamics, often leveraging data from the Event Horizon Telescope and quasinormal modes. Recent publications analyze black holes in Bumblebee gravity, photon sphere dynamics, and dark matter effects on deflection angles.

Notable scientific awards include recognition as a Top 2% Scientist by Stanford (2019–2024) and Institute of Physics Reviewer Honors. He has supervised PhD and MS theses on topics like weak deflection angles and shadow cast of black holes.
