INTRODUCTION

The Sindh Innovation, Research, and Education Network (SIREN) working under the auspices of the Government of Sindh, and the International Center for Chemical and Biological Sciences (ICCBS) is organizing a lecture entitled, “All-Optical Control of Interfacial Polarization in MoS2/WSe2 Heterobilayers”. This lecture is highly useful for Researchers, Interns, Students, and faculty

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Understand How First-Principles Simulations Describe Light–Matter Interaction

·         Laser Induced Electron Dynamics and Interfacial Polarization in vdW Heterostructures

·         Understand How Laser Pulses Can Drive Electronic Excitation

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Dr. Sufyan Ramzan is a Habilitation candidate in the Jena Electronic Theory and Spectroscopy (JETS) group led by Prof. Caterina Cocchi at Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany. Originally from Pakistan, he earned his BS in Materials Engineering from the University of the Punjab and his MS in Computational Materials Science from KAIST, South Korea. He later worked as a research associate in Prof. Thomas Heine’s group at the University of Leipzig and completed his PhD in Physics in 2021 at Jacobs University Bremen in PD Dr. Agnieszka Kuc’s group, focusing on the electronic and transport properties of nanomaterials. He then worked from 2021 to 2025 as a postdoctoral researcher in the Electronic Structure Theory group at the University of Oldenburg before joining JETS in 2025.

His research focuses on the electronic and optical properties of low-dimensional materials and van der Waals heterostructures, especially their excited-state response under laser pulses using real-time time-dependent density functional theory.
