Dr. Khaliq works in the interesting domain of Nano-sciences and aspires to introduce students at Habib to the fascinating world of nanotechnology and synchrotron sciences. He offers a variety of courses at Habib University such as Renewable Energy, Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Advanced Physics Labs, Spectroscopic Techniques, Surface Sciences, Functional Surfaces and Solid State Physics.
Education
- Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France
- M.S in Nano-materials, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France
- B.S. in Physics, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan
Research Interests
Dr. Khaliq’s research interests include the fabrication of organic/inorganic semiconducting materials, and studying their physical and chemical properties at the interface. These materials can provide the basis for the development of next generation solar cells, light emitting devices and Nano scale transistors. This study is done primarily via the usage of Synchrotron Radiation X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM).
Previously, Dr. Khaliq has worked on the growth of nano-wires via Vapor Liquid Solid Technique using a Molecular Beam Epitaxy setup and characterized them via STM, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Ellipsometry, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
