Biography
Dr. Mohammad Islam is currently a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Drexel University in Philadelphia. Prior to Drexel Dr. Islam was an Assistant Professor at the American University of Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates, better known as Dubai. Dr. Islam received his PhD degree from Columbia University Department of Applied Physics in 2003 and subsequently completed his post-doctoral fellowship at Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Islam’s research highlights include the first demonstration of electrophoretic deposition of nanoparticles resulting in nanoparticle arrays with atomic scale smoothness, first fabrication of nanoparticle based Lithium ion batteries with gravimetric capacities reaching almost the theoretical limit and first optical observation of a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in ultrathin (1-10 nm) perovskite films. He has published in a diverse range peer reviewed journals including Applied Physics Letters, Chemistry of Materials, Nano Letters, Nature Materials, Nanotechnology, Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, and Advanced Functional Materials.
Research Interest
synthesis, characterization and device implementation of nanomaterials for energy applications with an emphasis on Solar cell fabrication using nanoparticle heterostructures, Lithium ion batteries and understanding ionic transport at the nanoregime, known as nanoionics. Dr. Islam is also interested in two dimensional nanosystems composed of epitaxial films of ABO3 Perovskites and their interfacial phenomenon, including insulator to metal (MI) and charge ordering (CO) transitions.
