M.Phil. (Microelectronics Engineering & Semiconductor Physics)
Centre Of Excellence In Solid State Physics, University Of The Punjab, Lahore
I am Muqaddas Ameen, an aspiring Materials Science PhD candidate with a strong background in semiconductor physics and expertise in solar cell technology. My academic journey includes an M.Phil. in Microelectronics Engineering & Semiconductor Physics from the Centre of Excellence in Solid State Physics, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan, where I researched the effect of the ETL layer on output characteristics in FTO/ZnO/SnS solar cells using simulations like COMSOL 6.2, SCAPS-1D, and AFORS-HET. I have hands-on experience in material synthesis methods such as sol-gel, solid state, solvothermal, and hydrothermal, along with data analysis, visualization, and problem-solving. My work focuses on optimizing solar cell efficiency, recognizing innovative solutions, and publishing findings in journals, all aimed at driving renewable energy innovations to address global environmental challenges. This aligns closely with Sustainability Global's Climate Action & Renewable Energy pillar. I am committed to collaborative strategies that combine technological innovation with practical implementation, building a sustainable community through knowledge sharing and supporting measurable initiatives for a viable, representative future.
I want to join Sustainability Global as a Student Ambassador because I believe urgent collective action is needed to address the climate crisis, and this platform provides an ideal space for meaningful contributions. My background in materials science, combined with my research in solar cell technology using tools like SCAPS-1D, COMSOL Multiphysics, and AFORS-HET, has equipped me with the technical expertise to contribute effectively. This research, including optimizations for short-circuit current density in perovskite solar cells and trap-assisted recombination losses in SnS-based solar cells, has shaped my vision of a future where sustainable energy is accessible and scalable. By affiliating with Sustainability Global's Climate Action & Renewable Energy pillar, I aim to leverage my skills in material synthesis, simulation, and device fabrication to support global efforts in renewable energy adoption and net-zero emissions. My research contributes to sustainable energy solutions by developing innovative materials and devices that enhance efficiency, reduce non-radiative losses, and improve power yield under varying conditions, such as seasonal temperature gradients. Publications like my work on BiFeO3-based solar cells demonstrate my ability to map energy band mismatches and configure absorbing layers for better performance. Through Sustainability Global, I hope to collaborate with experts, share knowledge from my seminars and presentations, and contribute to projects that bridge the gap between complex research and practical implementation, fostering systemic change in renewable energy. I aspire to pursue doctoral research in energy-efficient device development, leading impactful initiatives that address critical environmental challenges. By joining Sustainability Global, I can expand my impact through its 7 Pillars, mentor emerging researchers, participate in policy advocacy, and help shape a regenerative planet by 2050. This offers a unique opportunity to apply my passion for sustainability, technical background, and collaborative skills to global efforts in creating accessible, adaptable, and eco-friendly technologies.
