Bio


Sarallah Hamtaei obtained his M.Sc. in Sustainable Materials from the University of Freiburg. He is now an FWO doctoral fellow at imec in Belgium, researching the growth and characterization of thin film chalcogenides on flexible substrates, for integrated energy applications. En route to Stanford, he interned at i.a., PDI Berlin to work on wide bandgap nanowires and at Fraunhofer IPMS to study silicide BEoL interconnects. Sarallah is currently a visiting scholar at the laboratory of Prof. Eric Pop, where he contributes to developing novel flexible optoelectronic devices based on transition metal dichalcogenides.
