AboutProfessional Interests
Dr. Ahmed’s interests broadly encompass nanotechnology and its key applications. On the research side, this includes photovoltaics, semiconductors, LEDs, piezoelectric devices, and applications in nano-scale water purification. He is currently interested in expanding his research scope to include other critical areas, especially through nanomedicine, looking at sensors for early detection of AIDS and cancer markers.
