Mohammed Zahed M Khan serves as Senior Lecturer in Electrical and Electronic Engineering within the School of Engineering and the Built Environment at Anglia Ruskin University, bringing over 12 years of expertise in semiconductor optoelectronics and optical communications research and teaching.
His academic credentials include:
- PhD in Electrical Engineering from King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia (2013)
- MSc in Electrical Engineering from King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), Saudi Arabia (2004)
- BEng in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Osmania University, India (2001)
Dr. Khan's research centers on III-V compound semiconductor lasers (near-infrared/visible spectrum) for optical communications and sensing applications. His work encompasses quantum-dash lasers, monolithic tunable lasers, mode-locked systems, and terahertz photonics. He pioneers machine learning integration for optical systems operating in harsh environments including fog, smoke, underwater channels, and free-space links, with emphasis on microwave photonics and WDM systems.
Analysis of his 2023-2024 publications reveals dominant themes: quantum-dash laser applications in extreme conditions using deep learning for signal classification, orbital angular momentum modes for high-capacity transmission, and terahertz signal generation for next-generation heterogeneous networks. His work consistently bridges photonics fundamentals with practical implementations in communication and sensing.
Key recognitions include:
- SABIC postdoctoral research fellowship (2014-2015)
Dr. Khan actively supervises research in optical fiber sensing and machine learning-enhanced optical communications. His substantial grant portfolio includes:
- KACST Technology Innovation Grant (> $500K, 2015-2021)
- SABIC postdoc fellowship (> $75K, 2014-2015)
- KFUPM Internal Research Grants (> $400K, 2015-2023)
He leads experimental and simulation research in photonics laboratories focusing on semiconductor laser development for microwave photonics, underwater/free-space optical communications, and environmental sensing applications.
