About Me

Physics is not just a subject, but a profound way of thinking about the universe, As educators, we illuminate the pathways of understanding

I was born and raised in a small village of District Bahawalpur, Tehsil Hasilpur, and got a school education from a village and sophomore at Govt. Sadiq Egerton College Bahawalpur. I got a bachelor’s degree from IUB, Bahawalpur, MSc from Bahauddin Zakariya University (BZU) Multan, an MPhil from Centre of Excellence in Solid State Physics, The University of Punjab Lahore, and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) from the Institute of Physics, The Islamia University Bahawalpur (IUB). I have five years of experience as a researcher in materials science and engineering, electrochemistry, photochemistry, biocompatible materials, and advanced energy storage/conversion materials, at the Institute of Physics, The Islamia University Bahawalpur (IUB), Pakistan. I authored 50 articles with an impact factor of 260 as well as > 05 articles under review having total citations > 1565 an H-index of 25 and an i10-index of 37. Moreover, I also have five year of experience operating material characterization tools and currently operating XRD, FTIR, RAMAN, PL, UV-Vis, IV, SEM/TEM, XPS, EDX, Electrochemical workstations at the Semiconductors and Nanotechnology Lab at The Institute of Physics IUB. I also have hands-on experience in nanomaterial/semiconductor synthesis techniques, including sol-gel, co-precipitation, hydrothermal, micro-emulsion, wet-chemical, auto-combustion, thermal evaporation, and solid-state methods. I also can train research students as I already guide four PhD and ~35 MPhil research students who have completed their work. Currently, I am supervising two PhD and six MPhil research students. I would like to work in a well-reputed organization among the best professionals and in a challenging atmosphere that offers an enormous chance of growth and further facilitates my abilities to help the organization reach its strategic goals.

RESEARCH INTEREST

Dr. Faisal Mukhtar’s research focuses on the synthesis, and development of well-defined Metal oxide nanoparticles and nanocomposite systems, including polymers, carbon-based materials like Graphene oxide (GO), Reduced Graphene oxide (RGO), fullerene (C60) and their broad applications for optical, electrical, environmental, biomedical, energy conversion, and storage devices. Moreover, he also has four years of experience operating material characterization tools including XRD, FTIR, RAMAN, PL, UV-Vis, IV, SEM/TEM, EDX, XPS, and Electrochemical workstations.
