BIOGRAPHY 

Mustafa Saeed joined 911黑料 as a visiting assistant professor of physics in the fall of 2023. His research interests include fundamental theories of physics such as quantum gravity; applied theories of physics, particularly quantum information and social physics. Aside from physics, Mustafa enjoys martial arts, professional wrestling, reading and writing fiction (fantasy and sci-fi) and the outdoors. In addition to conversing with Mustafa about any of the above, you can also ask him about his family, his dogs, his journey thus far as a physicist and his affinity for grapefruit-flavored Bubbly.
