known_for =exact solutions in general relativity ,gravitational waves ,nonlinearity ,black holes Mustafa Halilsoy (born in
Agios Nikolaos , Paphos,Cyprus ) is a prominentTurkish Cypriot theoretical physicist , and received his PhD degree in physics fromMiddle East Technical University specializing ingravitational physics . He is one of thecontributors to general relativity , in particular toexact solutions in general relativity .Professor Halilsoy is still actively working on gravitational physics at
Eastern Mediterranean University in theTurkish Republic of Northern Cyprus , focusing on exact solutions in general relativity. His analytic descriptions of collidinggravitational waves andgravitational singularity problems appeared in astro-physical black-holes, nonlinear problems ofmathematical physics as well as fields and particles in general.Personal life
He took his surname after his father's name, "Halil". He is married with three children.
