Khalifa University’s Physics Department had the honor of hosting Prof. John Ellis, Clerk Maxwell Professor of Theoretical Physics at King’s College London and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Prof. Ellis is an internationally-renowned theoretical particle physicist, widely recognized for his pioneering contributions to particle-physics phenomenology, including his seminal work on the Higgs boson initiated in 1975.
During his visit, Prof. Ellis met with Prof. Ehab El-Saadany, the Dean of the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, and Dr. Dirar Al Homouz, Department Chair, as well as faculty members, researchers, and students from the Physics Department. The visit provided a valuable platform for in-depth discussions on cutting-edge research in high-energy physics, emerging scientific opportunities, and future directions for advancing research and education in the field.
Prof. Ellis’s visit reflects the Physics Department’s ongoing commitment to fostering academic excellence, strengthening international collaboration, and enhancing research engagement in physics in general, and high-energy physics in particular, at Khalifa University.
