Dr. Moh'd Rezeq is an Associate Professor at the Department of Physics. He has a long experience in nanotechnology fields, with more than 75 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers, and 4 patents. He has established a nanofabrication and nano-probe lab at Khalifa University (KU) with the capability of fabricating and characterizing nanomaterials at sub-1 nm scale. His research is dedicated to low-power and energy-efficient nano-devices and nanomaterials. He is a PI for several internally and externally funded research projects. He is a founding member of the System on Chip research lab. He has supervised several graduate and senior undergraduate students, in addition to 6 postdoctoral research fellows. He is a recipient of “Excellence in Research Award” from KU. Prior to joining KU, Dr. Rezeq worked in several world-class research institutes such as the National Institute of Nanotechnology (NINT)/Canada, and the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE)/Singapore.
Nanoparticles based nano-memory devices
We build nano-memory devices using individual metal (like gold or silver) nanoparticles coated with a thin layer of oxide as unit nano-memory cells.
Nano-probe fabrication for nano-characterization
We fabricate nano-probes with sub-1 nm apex for nano-devices and fabrication and characterization of nanomaterials.
Nanoparticle-based nano-sensors
We fabricate nanoparticle-based nano-sensors for molecular sensing, especially for biomolecules.
Example: Gold Nanoparticles Monolayer Based Field-Effect Molecular Sensor
We have developed a novel and sensitive nano-sensor device for molecular characterization. This field-effect nano-sensor device is based on a well-arranged monolayer of gold nanoparticles on a thin film of SiO2. The device exhibited a very sensitive response to the exposure of charged and polar molecules.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) rectennas for photo-sensing and energy harvesting
We use carbon nanotubes as nano-rectennas for infrared and optical light detection and solar energy harvesting
Designing and engineering nano-antennas using Focused Ion Beams
Quantum dots (QDs) based memory devices
We characterize individual quantum dots using a conductive mode atomic force microscope (C-AFM) for developing multi-level quantum memory devices.
