Dr. Övgün's research is focused on understanding and constraining modified gravity theories using various properties of black holes and cosmological evolution. He has contributed to various analysis methods, which are now amongst the most widely used ones for calculating the Hawking radiation, gravitational lensing, and shadow cast of black holes. He has been studying various aspects of general relativity in relation to black hole properties, wormholes, compact stars, Hawking radiation, and cosmological inflation. Dr. Övgün is among World’s Top 2% Scientists in the Stanford University 2020-2025 Releases List.
He try to address a number of interesting questions in physics, such as:
-Is it possible that the Big Bang could be replaced with a wormhole at the beginning of time?
-Is it possible to create a traversable wormhole?
-How can quantum effects be included in black hole/wormhole thermodynamics?
-What happens at the edge of a Black Hole or inside a Black hole?
-Could Our Universe Be A Hologram? or How Many Dimensions In The Holographic Universe?
-Why is the universe expanding at an accelerating rate?
-How are Brain Cells Like Little Universes? so on...
