Ahmad Al-Jabr was a Ph.D. researcher at Photonics Laboratory under the supervision of Professor Boon Ooi at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). His Ph.D. work was focused on studying plasmonics and related physical phenomenon in highly-doped semiconductors and metal structures. He also applied his expertise in finite difference time domain (FDTD) theoretical simulation in understanding plasmonics effects in the structures, as well as designing practical plasmonic devices for eventual applications in photonic integrated circuits (PIC). Ahmad received his M.Sc. and B.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, Saudi Arabia. Previously gaining industrial experience while working as an electrical engineer until 2005, he continued to pursue a lecturing career at Jubail Industrial College, Saudi Arabia. Currently, he is working as an Assistant Professor at the Jubail Industrial College, Saudi Arabia.

Research Interests

Ahmad worked in the field of solid-state lighting. He was focused on Gallium Nitride white LEDs, the fabrication of Monolithic WLEDs. His research included modeling of QDs in Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) and the use of MBE grown quantum dots to fabricate better WLEDs.
