Research profile
I’m a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Carnegie Mellon University, working with Professor Xu Zhang. My research connects two-dimensional materials, device physics, and nanoelectronic integration.
I earned my Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at KAUST, where I worked with Professor Mario Lanza. My work spans hBN gate dielectrics, transistor engineering, memristor reliability, and the integration of 2D materials into microchips.
