RESEARCH PROFESSOR

Biography

Fateh Ullah received his bachelor's degree from Kohat University of Science and Technology (Pakistan). He obtained his (master's) M.Sc. and MS degrees in Organic Chemistry and Applied Organic Chemistry, from Hazara University and COMSATS University (formerly known as COMSATS Institute of Information Technology) respectively. In 2017, he secured the Zhejiang University scholarship and obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering. After that, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher (2018-2020) at the SMSE, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), Followed by one-year postdoctoral fellowship from School of Engineering, Westlake University. Presently, Dr. Ullah is a Research Assistant Professor in CenBRAIN Neurotech.

Research Interests and Project 

Fateh Ullah designed and fabricated the metal oxide-based materials for resistive switching devices. Besides, he completed the designing and synthesis of novel polymeric organics (structural elucidation is done via NMR) to be implemented in polymer nano-memristor array. In addition, Dr. Ullah has an experience in different characterization techniques which will be implemented for validation of the respective memristive devices. In CenBRAIN Neurotech, he is implementing memristors (as promising candidate owing to its CMOS compatibility, high-density devices, fast-switching speed, and low-power consumption) for artificial synapse. Besides, he is focusing on the designing, synthesis, characterization, and application of functional molecular organics (molecules and polymers) which are promising contenders (readily available low cost starting materials, ease of purification, roll to roll processibility, and mechanical flexibility) with resistive switching characteristic, making it an attractive candidate for nanotechnologies. Using CenBRAIN's platform, we develop novel materials with structurally tuned molecular entities that sync with memristor architectures.
