2018 Graduate Achievement Award recipient
Saeed’s doctoral work is in the area of high energy theory and particle physics. His paper, in collaboration with Professor Stefan Meinel, a well-known physicist at the University of Arizona, was published in the prestigious Journal of High Energy Physics. With multiple projects involving collaborators at the University of Montreal and at the University of California at Irvine, a UM Graduate School Dissertation Fellowship allowed Saeed to spend spring semester in California working on his dissertation and collaborating with Professor Jonathan Feng, an authority on dark matter physics and a Guggenheim Fellow. Saeed was selected for the exclusive Prospects in Theoretical Physics intensive training program for the next generation of scholars that builds on the strong relationship of researchers in the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University.
