Dr. Khaled Mohammed began his academic journey in Egypt, earning a BSc (2001) and MSc (2007) from Sohag University. He later completed a PhD in Chemistry at the University of Southampton (2010–2014), where he developed advanced materials for catalytic applications. Through his doctoral research, he honed expertise in state-of-the-art materials characterisation techniques, including synchrotron-based methods using X-rays, infrared, and other advanced spectroscopic methods.
This strong foundation in characterisation has enabled Dr. Mohammed to transition into silicon photonics seamlessly. He leverages his transferable skills to characterise and optimise high-speed silicon photonic modulators and photodetectors, driving advancements in next-generation optical communication systems. Passionate about interdisciplinary learning, he is also developing expertise in photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design, simulation, and testing to expand his contributions to the field.
