Nuh Gedik: Peering into the heart of matter

Nuh Gedik is a physicist who focuses on observing subatomic particles in exotic materials and physical states as they move at high speeds.

For a long time, it was thought that these particles couldn’t be observed directly because they were controlled by quantum-mechanical laws.Gedik’s interest in math and science was evident from the time he was a child in Turkey, where his father taught him for the first three years of his education.

In high school, where he had an inspiring physics teacher and ended up competing for Turkey in an international Physics Olympiad, his interest in physics grew.
