Ayse Kizilersu

Ayse Kizilersu’s PhD in theoretical physics on "Gauge Theory Constraints on the Fermion-Boson Vertex" was completed in the UK at the Centre for Particle Theory (CPT) in Durham University, which later became the Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology (IPPP). After obtaining her PhD, she returned to Istanbul and completed her Habilitation, the highest possible academic qualification.

Primarily, Ayse’s research interest lies in theoretical particle physics, with a particular focus on non-perturbative field theories, which tackle fundamental questions such as why matter dominates our universe, the origin of mass, and the evolution of the universe post-Big Bang from a particle physics point of view. Over the past decade, she has expanded her research interests by applying advanced theoretical techniques to interdisciplinary areas, including complex systems, econophysics, medical physics (such as proton/hadron therapy), Defence applications, and more recently, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and quantum machine learning. This research involves the modelling of coupled non-linear systems, advanced analytical calculations, advance statistics and data analysis, big data, and numerical simulations on high-performance computers.
