Ir. Shabnam Ahadzadeh

Shabnam's academic journey began at Tabriz University, where she pursued a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering with a specific interest in solar cells and photovoltaics. This foundational period allowed her to explore the fascinating world of electronic devices, setting the stage for her future endeavors. Eager to delve deeper into the realm of nanotechnology, Shabnam continued her academic pursuit at Iran University of Science and Technology for her master's degree. Here, she specialized in nano and micro electronic devices, and her dedication and proficiency led her to secure the top rank in her master's class. Shabnam's master's project was a significant step forward, involving the modeling of UV-OLEDs based on ZnO nanotubes and nanorods. Her contributions extended to the successful fabrication of these OLEDs, where she skillfully utilized tools like DFT calculation, Lumerical FDTD, and Silvaco TCAD software.
Currently, Shabnam is a Ph.D. student at Hasselt University, focusing on organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and their large-area fabrication techniques. Her research specifically revolves around utilizing carbon nanotubes as emissive layers to enable the emission of near-infrared light. In addition to this, Shabnam is actively engaged in interface engineering, exploring novel approaches like incorporating salt as a surface modifier to enhance device efficiency. Notably, Shabnam secured her own scholarship for her Ph.D., a testament to her academic excellence and dedication to research. She was awarded the FWO (Research Foundation Flanders) scholarship, reflecting the recognition of her outstanding contributions to the field. Shabnam's toolkit includes various analytical techniques such as EPR, impedance spectroscopy, and recently, AFM.
