Dr. Mohammad Ali Nasiri is a distinguished researcher and innovator with expertise in micro- and nano-electronic device fabrication, cleanroom processing, and advanced materials characterization. With over five years of hands-on experience in cleanroom environments, he has mastered key fabrication techniques including thin-film deposition, electrical contact formation, dry etching, and photolithographic mask preparation, all of which are critical to the development of high-performance electronic and optoelectronic systems. His technical proficiency extends to a wide array of advanced characterization methods such as AFM, XRD, XPS, SEM, FESEM, FTIR, spectroscopic ellipsometry, and electrochemical analysis, enabling him to conduct precise evaluations of material properties and performance. Holding dual master’s degrees in Aeronautical Engineering and Nanomaterials Science, Dr. Nasiri integrates interdisciplinary expertise in thermodynamics, applied mathematics, and materials physics to address complex challenges in energy and electronic device research. He completed his PhD at the University of Valencia’s Institute of Molecular Science (ICMOL), where his research, titled “Advances in Hybrid Energy Devices: Integrating Thermoelectric Materials via Fabrication, Characterization, and Modeling,” focused on sustainable energy conversion through thermoelectric materials. His studies on metallic thin films, conductive polymer nanocomposites, and lignin-based membranes yielded significant advancements in thermoelectric efficiency and ionic transport understanding. Notably, he developed three innovative thermal conductivity measurement setups, demonstrating both engineering ingenuity and scientific depth. Currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Materials Science (ICMUV), University of Valencia, Dr. Nasiri is developing perovskite-based photodetectors for sensor and biomedical imaging applications. His work embodies the fusion of nanotechnology, materials innovation, and sustainability, contributing to the next generation of clean energy and optoelectronic technologies.
