DR. HEMZA AZRI

Dr. Hemza Azri is currently a senior lecturer at the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Universiti Malay. His research interests lie broadly in gravitational physics, with a focus on the theoretical and experimental aspects of General Relativity (GR) and alternative theories of gravity. In parallel, he is interested in the interplay between cosmology and particle physics, exploring how high energy physics (usually small scales) shape what we observe in cosmology.

Over the course of his academic career, he has visited leading research institutions, including the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy; Nordita in Stockholm, Sweden; and the Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) in Madrid, Spain. He has also contributed as a theorist to the UAE–ATLAS (CERN) collaboration.

Alongside his research activities, he has developed a strong profile as a teacher of physics. In his lectures, he places particular emphasis on clarity and logical structure, using well-chosen examples to guide students through challenging material and to encourage genuine understanding rather than rote learning. His commitment to effective communication also extends beyond the classroom: he is capable of presenting advanced physical ideas in a way that is accessible to non-specialists. By presenting complex ideas in clear and accessible language, he helps a wider audience understand and appreciate physics and engage with science.
