Multiculturalism within UEMF: Appointment of Pakistani Professor Saif Ur Rehman

Prof. Saif Ur Rehman has joined the academic team of the Euromed University of Fes, bringing with him extensive experience and recognized expertise in the field of physics, particularly in nanosciences and nanotechnology.

Prof. Saif Ur Rehman held the position of Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore campus, since 2014. He obtained his PhD in physics, specialized in nano-optics and nanotechnology, at Mohammed V University in Rabat, in collaboration with the Moroccan Foundation for Advanced Sciences, Innovation and Research (MAScIR) in 2013. During his doctorate, he conducted research at the iNANOTECH-MAScIR research institute, a reference center in Morocco for nanosciences and nanotechnologies.

Before his doctorate, Mr. Rehman obtained a DEA in applied physics and an M.Sc. in physics from the Department of Physics at the University of Engineering and Technology Lahore in 2007 and 2004 respectively.

With nearly fifteen years of experience in multidisciplinary research on nanomaterials and nanotechnology, nano-optics and thin films, photovoltaics, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy, biosensing, ultrafast laser nanofabrication, and the synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials, Saif Ur Rehman is a valuable asset for our institution. He also has considerable expertise in installing and using high-tech instruments such as PVD, SEM, TEM, XRD and AFM.

Throughout his scientific career, Saif Ur Rehman has collaborated with several renowned laboratories and institutes, including the Advanced Physics Lab at UET Lahore, the Nanobiotech Lab at NIBGE Faisalabad, iThemba LABS in Cape Town, CSIR Labs in Pretoria, South Africa, the MASCIR Nano-Optics Lab in Morocco and JEOL Ltd in Tokyo, Japan.

We are convinced that his arrival at EPS will stimulate research and teaching initiatives within our physics department and will contribute significantly to our mission of academic excellence and scientific innovation.

We welcome Prof. Saif Ur Rehman and look forward to collaborating with him to advance the frontiers of knowledge and technology.
