Dr. Muhammad Uzair FAROOQ

Muhammad Uzair Farooq is a doctoral candidate in the Department Physics and Materials Science at the University of Luxembourg. He is member of the group Surface and Interface Physics led by Professor Alex Redinger.

His research focuses on optimizing the surface of absorbers in the CIGSe, and Perovskite based solar cells. Using SPM and other techniques, he aims to study the role of Grain Boundaries and band bending on the performance of a solar cell. The main topic of the research is “Tail state variation in chalcopyrite by PDT, in perovskites by Sn and Br alloying.”

He taught an optics lab for bachelor’s students and supervised a Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) class for Master’s students

He has been an active participant in the Scienteen Luxembourg.

Uzair completed his bachelor’s degree in physics at COMSATS University Islamabad and earned his master’s degree in physics from the University of Luxembourg.
