Dr. Maha Khayyat

Professor of Semiconductors Physics, KACST

Biography

Maha M Khayyat is a professor of semiconductors physics at KACST. Dr Khayyat received her PhD from Cavendish laboratory, University of Cambridge (Oct. 2001-July 2004), studying the mechanical, optical and electrical properties of crystalline and amorphous semiconductor materials (Si, Ge, GaAs) using indentation technique at both micro and nano scale. Then she worked as a collaborative researcher at Cavendish lab, where she was introduced to the topic of photovoltaic cells at Microelecronics Research Center (MRC) and Nanoscience Center of University of Cambridge. She worked within a joint project KACST/ IBM, undertaking research at T. J. Watson Research Center, USA. She worked on solar cells based on Si nanowires then started making original research by improving the nanowire technology and spalling at liquid nitrogen temperature. After that, she spent her sabbatical year at MIT, Nanoen- gineering group, funded by the Center of Clean Water of Energy of KFUPM. The objective to develop surface structures that trap photons in thin films of Si. Then she worked at Poitiers University, Poitiers, France studying the properties of GaN nanomembrane for LED applications.
