Dr. Abbas Ahmad Khan
Dr. Abbas Ahmad Khan received his B.S. degree in Physics in 2012, followed by an M.Phil. in Microelectronic Engineering and Semiconductor Physics from the University of the Punjab, Pakistan, in 2015. His M.Phil. research focused on "TCAD-based design and simulations of GaN detectors". He later earned his Ph.D. in 2020 from the Beijing Institute of Technology, China, under the supervision of Prof. Zhinong Yu and in collaboration with Prof. Jizheng Wang (University of Chinese Academy of Sciences). His doctoral dissertation, titled "Interfacial, Compositional and Additive Engineering on Perovskite Active Layers towards Highly Efficient and Stable Photodetector Devices," centered on advancing the stability and performance of perovskite optoelectronic systems.
From 2021 to 2023, Dr. Khan served as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Ajou University and subsequently as a Research Assistant Professor at Hanyang University, South Korea. During this period, his work primarily involved characterizing optical materials, including organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites, III–V wide-bandgap semiconductors, and 2D materials, and fabricating optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices, particularly photodetectors and solar cells. He also gained extensive experience in THz spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) imaging.
In 2023, Dr. Khan joined the Organic Molecular Materials Group at IMDEA Nanociencia, led by Prof. Nazario Martín. His current research focuses on the development of perovskite-based photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices, which are among the most promising and rapidly advancing technologies in the field. At IMDEA Nanociencia, he is actively exploring the incorporation of novel organic compounds into perovskite device architectures to enhance both efficiency and long-term operational stability.
Dr. Khan’s academic and research trajectory reflects a strong interdisciplinary background in materials science, semiconductor physics, and device engineering, with a particular emphasis on next-generation optoelectronic technologies.
