biophotonics flexible electronics

Rami ElAfandy obtained a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering under the supervision of Professor Boon Ooi at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). His work was related to studying the physical properties (optical, electrical and thermal) of flexible gallium nitride (GaN) nanomembranes and engineering these properties for biological and energy applications. He developed thermal biosensors for living cells and successfully measured and differentiated between different cancer cells based on their thermal transport properties. He also worked on increasing hydrogen photo
