Majed
Khalaf

Majed Khalaf is a theoretical physicist and PhD candidate, researching the modelling of body motion around black holes, and the nature of dark matter, which is matter that does not interact with light. He is unravelling a fundamental connection between quantum and classical observables, which he uses to describe motion around black holes more precisely, overcoming the limitations of current simulations. Majed also explores dark matter models to illuminate its mysterious nature.

Majed is exploring dark matter models to illuminate its mysterious nature while also improving simulations of black hole inward-spirals.

Majed earned his BSc in electrical engineering and physics and his MSc in electrical engineering from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. Born and raised in Jatt, a small town in the Triangle area in Israel, Majed now lives in Jerusalem. His volunteer work includes giving free lessons to high school and undergraduate students. In his leisure time, Majed enjoys working out in the gym, listening to podcasts or videos, and occasionally watching intriguing movies.
