Saqib Rahman is an Associate Professor at University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Currently working at School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study (UCAS). Previously he worked at NESCOM(Pakistan), HPCAT(USA) and HPSTAR(Shanghai)

Our research interest focusses on Physical properties of materials under extreme condition for different application including sensing, Green technology, optoelectronics, understanding the physics and chemistry of light elements at extreme conditions. In addition, our focus is on chemical and electronics structures under these conditions which provide a foundational understanding of chemical bonds and electrons behavior in extreme environments. Using the diamond anvil cell, we are capable of exceeding pressures at the centre of the earth (>300 GPa), whilst using auxiliary heating/cooling techniques, capable of exhibiting samples to a broad temperature regime (2 K – 3000 K).

I have direct collaborations with Stanford University, the Max Planck Institutes, HPCAT-USA, and HPSTAR for research opportunities and exchange students.

Our research experience is in the following fields

· Spinel, 2D material, oxides, Earth& Energy material, Quantum dots, Semiconductors and Alloy, (fabrications and High pressure, high/low-temperature techniques)

· Photoelectric detection under extreme conditions

· Ultra-high pressure structural measurements and data analysis

· Ultra-high pressure and low Temp. Electrical transport measurements

· Ultra-high pressure optical measurements and data analysis

· Laser-heating & synthesis in the diamond anvil cell

· Photoconductivity at High Pressure and High temperature

· Development of materials for sensing and green technologies

Published academic papers in Advanced Material, Advanced Science, Material Today Physics(3), The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, PRB(5), Ceramic international and other journals.
