Dr. Sabir Hussain is a Senior Researcher at the Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork, Ireland, and holds an SFI Pathways Programme Fellowship. He holds a PhD in Condensed Matter Physics and has extensive research experience in the synthesis, fabrication, and characterization of advanced materials for next generation electronic devices. His research focuses on two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D-TMDCs), ferroelectric materials, and their integration into energy efficient memory and memristive devices. His expertise includes atomic layer deposition (ALD), chemical vapour deposition (CVD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM), Raman spectroscopy, and electrical characterization. His research interests include defect engineering, strain-induced phenomena, flexoelectricity, and charge trapping/detapping mechanisms in emerging electronic materials.
