Dr. Muhammad Ikram obtained his Master's degree (M. Phil Physics) from Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Pakistan in 2010. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Physics from the Department of Physics, Government College University (GCU) Lahore through the Pak-US joint project between the Department of Physics, GCU Lahore, Pakistan, and the University of Delaware, USA in 2015. He served as deputy director of Manuscript Science at Punjab textbook board (Pakistan). Later on (2017-to date), Ikram joined the Department of Physics, GC University Lahore as an Assistant Professor of Physics and Principal of Solar Cell Applications Lab. Ikram received the Seal of Excellence Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions Individual Fellowship in 2017 and 2020. In 2021, Ikram was included in the 2 % top scientists from Pakistan announced by Stanford University. His research interest involves the synthesis and characterization of inorganic semiconductor nanomaterials, 2D materials for water treatment optoelectronic, and electrocatalytic applications.

Mr. Ali Raza obtained his B.S (Physics) degree from the University of Gujrat (Punjab, Pakistan) in 2016 and his Master's degree (M. Phil) in Material Physics from Riphah International University, Islamabad Pakistan in 2019. Raza completed his M. Phil research work in the Solar Cell Applications Lab at GCU Lahore (Punjab, Pakistan) and later worked as a Research Associate in the same lab on the field of catalytic and energy harvesting applications of pure and engineered 2D materials (TMDCs, Graphene, h-BN, and MXenes). Currently, he is serving as Lecturer (Research) at the Department of Physics, University of Sialkot, Punjab, and has enrolled as a Ph.D. scholar at CAS Key Laboratory of Design and Assembly of Functional Nanostructures, Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter, CAS. His current research directions are the fabrication of functional 2D-Materials for catalytic and other energy-harvesting applications.

Prof. Dr. Salamat Ali is working as a Professor of Physics at Riphah Institute of Computing and Applied Sciences (RICAS), Riphah International University Lahore Campus, and Retired as a Full Professor of Physics from GC University Lahore. He has completed his Ph.D. in 1996 from the Durham University, U.K. in Superconductivity and Magnetism and his Post-Doc. in 2006 from the K.F. University of Graz, Austria, with specialization in Nanotechnology. He also completed training in Solar Cell Technology from the University of Delaware, USA in 2012. His current research interests include Water purifications, Sensor technology, Development of medicines for cancer treatment. He has 35 years of experience in Material Science.

Dr. Muhammad Ikram於2010年從巴哈丁·扎卡里亞大學（巴基斯坦馬爾坦）獲得物理學碩士學位（M. Phil Physics）。他於2015年通過巴基斯坦拉合爾政府大學（GCU）物理學系與美國特拉華大學之間的巴美聯合項目，在拉合爾政府大學物理學系獲得物理學博士學位。他曾在旁遮普教科書委員會擔任手稿科學副主任（巴基斯坦）。之後（2017年至今），Ikram作為物理學助理教授和太陽能電池應用實驗室負責人加入了拉合爾政府大學物理學系。Ikram於2017年和2020年獲得了卓越瑪麗·居里行動個人獎學金。2021年，Ikram被斯坦福大學宣布為巴基斯坦前2%的頂尖科學家之一。他的研究興趣包括無機半導體納米材料的合成和表徵，用於水處理光電和電催化應用的二維材料。

Mr. Ali Raza於2016年從古吉拉特大學（巴基斯坦旁遮普邦）獲得物理學學士學位，並於2019年從伊斯蘭堡巴基斯坦的Riphah國際大學獲得材料物理學碩士學位（M. Phil）。Raza在拉合爾政府大學（巴基斯坦旁遮普邦）的太陽能電池應用實驗室完成了他的碩士研究工作，之後在同一實驗室擔任研究助理，從事純粹和工程化二維材料（TMDCs、石墨烯、h-BN和MXenes）在催化和能源收集應用領域的研究。目前，他擔任旁遮普錫亞爾科特大學物理學系的講師（研究），並在中國科學院物質結構研究所功能納米結構設計和組裝重點實驗室註冊為博士研究生。他目前的研究方向是製備功能性二維材料，用於催化和其他能源收集應用。

Prof. Dr. Salamat Ali目前在Riphah國際大學拉合爾校區的Riphah計算和應用科學研究所（RICAS）擔任物理學教授，並從拉合爾政府大學退休。他於1996年從英國杜倫大學獲得超導和磁性的博士學位，並於2006年在奧地利格拉茨大學獲得納米技術專業的博士後學位。他還於2012年從美國特拉華大學接受了太陽能電池技術培訓。他目前的研究興趣包括水淨化、傳感器技術和發展癌症治療藥物。他在材料科學領域擁有35年的經驗。
