Group-III nitride materials Nanogenerators optoelectronics 2D materials

Latifah Al-Maghrabi is pursuing a master's degree in Electrical Engineering in the electrophysics track at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). Currently, the questions that guide Latifah's journey of investigation revolve around exploring novel lower dimensional materials for integration with group-III-nitride-based optoelectronic devices at the Photonics Laboratory at KAUST. By understanding the physics at the device level, she hopes to be able to enhance optoelectronics used for light and energy generation. In May 2018, Latifah graduated with a B.S. in Electrical
