Biographical: Adeel Afzal studied Chemistry at Quaid-i-Azam University (Islamabad) and received MSc and MPhil degrees in 2002 and 2004, respectively. He earned PhD (Chemistry) in 2007 from University of Vienna (Austria). He specialized in design, synthesis and fabrication of synthetic antibodies based on molecularly imprinted polymers, ceramic thin films, and metal oxide nanoparticles as artificial receptor layers for mass-sensitive chemical sensors under the supervision of Prof. Franz L. Dickert. Later, he served different higher education institutions, research centres, and industries in Pakistan. From 2010-2012, he worked as Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Bari (Italy) and developed high temperature metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors and nanomaterials for catalysis applications. In 2012, He joined KFUPM Affiliated Colleges at Hafr Al-Batin (ACHB, Saudi Arabia) as Assistant Professor of Chemistry. Currently, he is teaching General Chemistry courses at ACHB and carrying out several collaborative research projects in the fields of chemical sensors, catalysis, polymers, nanocomposites, nanotechnology, biomedical materials and diagnostics.
