معرفی
Dr. Ahmed Iraqi is an Honorary Senior Lecturer in Chemistry at the University of Sheffield's School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences. He holds a BSc from the University of Fes (1984), an MSc from University Paul Sabatier (1985), and a PhD (1988), all in Chemistry. His career includes postdoctoral research at the University of St Andrews (until 1996), Lecturer roles at Lancaster University (1996-2000), and appointments at the University of Sheffield since 2000, where he became a Reader in 2013.
Research Focus: Iraqi's work centers on conjugated polymers for optoelectronic applications, including organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), photovoltaic materials, and field-effect transistors. His group develops novel polymers with tailored optical, electrochemical, and morphological properties, aiming to enhance device efficiency and stability. Key themes include fluorination effects, low-bandgap polymers for solar cells, and post-functionalization strategies for regioregular polythiophenes.
Publications: Over 100 peer-reviewed articles span polymer synthesis, photovoltaic device engineering, and material characterization. Recent work emphasizes fluorination-driven optoelectronic tuning, metal-organic framework nanosheets for morphology control, and copper molybdate catalysts.
Awards: No specific awards listed; contributions recognized through extensive publications and academic roles.
Grants/Advising: Active in securing research grants for polymer solar cell projects. Supervised numerous PhD students (names not explicitly listed) in polymer synthesis and device fabrication.
Labs/Teams: Leads a research group within the School's Chemistry Department, collaborating on interdisciplinary materials projects with global partners.
