Moataz H. Emam
Moataz H. Emam, Physics Department, and physics graduate Jesse Chandler '14 collaborated on a research paper that was recently published in the Journal of Classical and Quantum Gravity. “Geodesic structure of five-dimensional non-asymptotically flat 2-branes” summarized research in the context of the superstring theory and studies the motion of light particles around a 2-brane, which is a higher dimensional generalization of black holes. This specific brane has interesting properties in that it has a gravitational field that doesn’t get weaker as one gets farther away from it.
