9 AREASOF SPECIALIZATION

• Dye Sensitized Solar cells • Nano Particles • Computational Physics • Dielectric functions of Materials

10 PROJECTS

• Transport Phenomenon of Photo Injected Electrons in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells:

It was dealing with theoretical determination of solar cell parameters such as open circuit volt- age, short circuit current, efficiencies and the fill factors.

3 • Effects of Hermanson’s spatial dependent dielectric function on the total energy of Quantum Dots and the effect of frequency dependent dielectric functions on the electronics and optical properties of binary semiconductors

This is dealing with materials at nano and macro scales. It is making use of computational tools such as Matlab, Quantum ESPRESSO, yambo and BerkeleyGW computer codes.

11 UNITS TAUGHT

• Condensed matter physics • Quantum mechanics I • Electronics I • Modern physics • Digital electronics • Electrical circuits • Digital System Design • Mechanics I and II • Waves and optics • Electricity and magnetism I • Basic Physics II • General Physics for Agriculture • Physics for Life Sciences 1 • Introduction to telecommunications
