Tayalati Yahya

Tayalati, a high-energy physicist, earned his PhD from the University Mohammed First in Morocco. He contributed significantly to the ANTARES collaboration, focusing on neutrino telescope deployment and the search for exotic particles. For over two decades, Tayalati focused on the ATLAS collaboration, he played a key role in the construction of the Liquid Argon Presampler and contributed to ground-breaking research on light-by-light scattering. By building collaborations with the KM3NeT neutrino telescope and the ATLAS High Granularity Timing Detector, Tayalati showcased Morocco's role in cutting-edge particle physics. Recognized as an honorary fellow of the Islamic World Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the African Academy of Sciences, he received the Fulbright fellowship (2011), the Kuwait AFESD fellowship (2021), and the TWAS-AREP award (2022). In 2021, he was honoured with the prestigious Mustafa Prize for his significant contribution to physics research and scientific development. With his leadership and expertise, Tayalati continues to shape the landscape of particle physics research, driving towards a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles of the Universe.
