 Biography

 

Prof.  Nahhas has received his Master’s degree in Computer Engineering from Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois, USA  in 1996
He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (Electronics) from University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA in 2001.
His research work in the area of Wide bandgap Semiconductors was recognized as the first in the world as reported in the prestigious
2000 Applied Physics Letters USA
 
     

Professional Interests

 
Professor Nahhas’s research has been centered on developing new photonic and electronic devices at micro and nanoscales involving various functional materials such as rare-earth doped oxides, wide bandgap semiconductors, and nanostructured materials Professor Nahhas’s research investigates Epitaxial growth and fabrication  of ZnO and GaN optical devices. Fabrication of MSM photodetectors have been developed on macroscale area of wafer surface using a directed self-organization method, and have been investigated as an interaction medium in optical, electrical, chemical, and biological domains. Surface-plasmon phenomena occurring in structures are of particular interest, since many novel properties can be derived from those and can be incorporated into an on-chip configuration for interaction with other functional materials
