Introduction
Introduction
Anwar
graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Electronics and
Communication Engineering from the University of Liverpool in July 2010.
He received multiple attainment scholarships worth a total of £4500
during his time there. Additionally, in 2009, he won the David Inglis
Dawbarn Award for being the "most distinguished" student in the
Electrical Engineering and Electronics Department. For his final year
project at the University of Liverpool, Anwar fabricated, characterized,
and modelled Schottky diodes fabricated using three different organic
semicondutcors (PTAA, P3HT, TIPS), which were to be used for low-cost
sensor circuits.
Anwar is now an MSc student studying Electrical
Engineering at KAUST. He has completed his courses, and is now working
on his thesis which is on the topic of solid-state lighting. With 20%
of the energy produced worldwide being spent on lighting, it is not
surprising that the conventional light souces that we use are
inefficient. Switching to solid-state lighting, which is based on LEDs,
could cut this figure by half. The most promising material for the
development of inherent white LEDs is InGaN. Anwar is focused on the
development of an inherent white LED through the use of different InGaN
nanostructures, such as nanowires, that possess unique and exciting
properties.
