Biography
Dr.Wahab is working as an Assistant Professor in the department of Zoology, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia. He received his Ph.D degree from Chonbuk National University, department of chemical engineering Jeonju South Korea in 2008, on the topic of Nano-biotechnological applications of metal oxides nanostructures. During his doctorate as well as in the post-doctoral period he published no. of paper in reputed journals on the topic of fabrication of nanostructures of metal and metal oxides such as ZnO, MgO, SnO2, CuO, Pt, Au and their applications such as in photocatalysis, hydrogen storage, microbiology, cell biology, DNA damage, biosensing etc. He has also received the best research award from Brain Korea 21(BK-21) during his Ph.D. he worked on several projects such as novel bio-devices by Nano-bio fusion technology and its application, solar cells etc. Beside these, He has a privilege to be a Chonbuk National University post-doctoral fellow on project Nano-Bio technological application of nanostructured materials during period of 2010-2011. His current research interest is nanobiotechnological applications of nano structures material for the antimicrobial and anticancer study.
