Interests

Organic light emitting devices, organic and hybrid optoelectronics, novel techniques for neural stimulation.

Research

During his time as a Fulbright Scholar, Dr Ahmad aims to develop flexible and stretchable organic lightemitting devices for optical stimulation of the peripheral nervous system. This work will potentially allow the development of non-invasive techniques for neural stimulation as compared to existing invasive techniques. To achieve the intended research targets, Dr Ahmad will closely collaborate with biomedical and medical experts at the University of Texas at Austin.
