Shadi Al Khateeb is an Adjunct Professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at the University of Utah, with a concurrent role as Vice Dean of Scientific Research and Innovation at Al-Balqa Applied University (Jordan). His expertise spans thin film deposition for energy storage (Li-ion batteries), biomaterials, and superconductors, with a focus on spray pyrolysis and pulsed laser deposition (PLD). He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Birmingham (2009) and postdoctoral experience at the University of Utah (2016–2017) and University of Florida (2013–2014).
- Ph.D.: Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, University of Birmingham (2006–2009)
- M.Sc./B.Sc.: Materials and Metallurgical Engineering, Al-Balqa Applied University (graduated with distinction)
His research integrates materials synthesis and characterization, with applications in energy storage, bioimplants, and superconducting materials. Key techniques include XRD, SEM, EBSD, and electrochemical testing. Recent work (2023–2025) explores fluorapatite films for bioimplants, MoS2 solar cell materials, and corrosion inhibition using green additives.
Scientific awards include the Arab Fund Fellowship Program (Kuwait), a UK ORS Award, and Jordan’s Scientific Research and Innovation Support Fund. He has secured grants such as the Rawabit Program Partnership Development Grant (2024–2025) for AI/ML integration in materials engineering education.
In teaching, he offers courses like Physical Metallurgy, Corrosion Protection, and Materials Science at BAU, complemented by a Research Mentoring Certificate (University of Utah, 2024). His work on MgO templates for YBCO films and FeS2 battery anodes underscores his interdisciplinary impact.
