Adnan Al-Abbar is a theoretical optical physicist from Kuwait. He was born in February, 1994. He was a research associate at the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, working on the study of random optical media and economic solutions to environmental problems in the Environmental and Life Sciences Research Center, and is now a Ph.D. student in physics at Texas A&M University.

He obtained his B.Sc. in physics from Kuwait University (2018), and his M.Sc. in Optics from the University of Rochester (2022) under the supervision of Professor Govind Agrawal, with Professors Peter Milonni and Robert Boyd as co-supervisors, with a thesis titled: Optical Solitons in Nonlinear Dispersive Media.

Prior to turning to optical physics, he worked as a research assistant in nuclear physics at Kuwait University and the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, where he presented lectures at conferences in Beirut (Lebanon) and Varna (Bulgaria) on exotic nuclei.

He has gained an interest in economics lately, and started to read on microeconomic theory in 2016, and writing articles for the Mises Institute on economic matters. He is currently working on a series of articles with Professor Walter Block on the nature of property ownership.

He has gained a recent interest in poetry, and have written tens of poems. This blog contains his poems, stories, and nonscholarly articles on physics, philosophy, economics, and literature, as well as some personal writings.
