Mohammed Abdullah Hammadi
Mohammed Abdullah Hammadi
Description: He is interested in theoretical physics, with broad interests spanning quantum mechanics, relativity, condensed matter physics, and other areas of modern physics. He previously worked with Dr. Michael Vogl on the band structure and topological properties of the deformed kagome lattice, an experience that strengthened his interest in pursuing research in theoretical physics. Alongside his studies in physics, he is developing a rigorous mathematical foundation in subjects including set theory, linear algebra, real and complex analysis, and topology. He also works part-time designing educational English content for students preparing for the Saudi General Aptitude Test (Qudrat).

Mohammed Salman Alsadah
Mohammed Salman Alsadah
Description: Mohammed Alsadah is a theoretical physicist whose primary research interests lie in quantum field theory within the context of particle physics. He previously worked with Dr. Michael on problems in condensed matter theory, studying the magnon band structure of deformed kagome lattices, and is likely to collaborate with him on future projects. His current research focuses on dispersion relations for Feynman integrals, a topic closely related in spirit to the Källén–Lehmann representation. More broadly, he is interested in foundational questions in physics, particularly the measurement problem in quantum mechanics and the origin of the arrow of time in statistical physics, both of which he hopes will see significant progress during his lifetime.
Research interests: Quantum field theory, particle physics, Feynman integrals, condensed matter theory, foundations of quantum mechanics, statistical physics.

Fall 2022 group
Moayad Mohammed Ekhwan
Moayad Mohammed Ekhwan
Moayad is interested in theoretical physics and condensed matter theory in particular. Currently, he is studying systems related to the Kitaev honeycomb model together with Ibraheem and Hussain under the supervision of Dr. Michael Vogl and Dr. Hocine Bahlouli. He plans to continue his physics training at the graduate level at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor.
Research interests: exactly solvable systems, many-body physics, spin Hamiltonians, and strongly correlated systems.

Husain Hasan Al-Saleh
Husain, Moayad and Ibraheem are working together on materials related to the Kitaev honeycomb model.
Ibraheem Faisal Al-Yousef
Ibraheem Faisal Al-Yousef
Ibraheem is interested in theoretical physics, especially theoretical condensed matter, and mathematical physics. He is working with Moayad and Husain on extensions of the Kitaev honeycomb model under the supervision of Dr. Michael Vogl and Dr. Hocine Bahlouli. Ibraheem strongly believes in the supremacy of Mathematica over Python.
