Dr. Md. Ahasan Habib is a physicist specializing in Condensed Matter Physics, with research interests spanning spintronics, organic and molecular spintronics, spin photovoltaics, ultrafast magnetization dynamics, and spin-dependent phenomena in hybrid molecular materials. His research integrates advanced experimental techniques with fundamental materials physics to explore next-generation spin-based electronic, photonic, and information technologies.

 

He received his Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from the University of Leeds, United Kingdom, in January 2024, following doctoral research undertaken between October 2019 and October 2023 under the supervision of Professor Dr. Oscar Céspedes in the Condensed Matter Group, School of Physics and Astronomy. His doctoral research focused on understanding spin-dependent interfacial phenomena and magneto-optic processes in C60 molecular–metal oxide heterostructures, contributing to the development of novel approaches for ultrafast information storage and spin photovoltaic devices.

 

Prior to his doctoral studies, Dr. Habib earned both his Bachelor of Science (Honours) and Master of Science degrees in Physics from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. His academic training provided a strong foundation in condensed matter physics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and materials science, which continues to inform his interdisciplinary research.

 

Dr. Habib has served as a Lecturer, Assistant Professor, and Associate Professor in the Physics Discipline at Khulna University since 2015, where he teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses, supervises student research, and actively contributes to curriculum development and academic administration. Before joining Khulna University, he served as a Lecturer in Physics under the 29th Bangladesh Civil Service (General Education Cadre) from 2011 to 2015, teaching at Govt. Rajendra College, Faridpur, and Nilphamari Govt. College, Nilphamari.

 

His research seeks to advance the fundamental understanding of spin-dependent transport, interfacial magnetism, and photo-induced spin phenomena in molecular and hybrid materials, with the broader objective of enabling low-power, high-speed spintronic and optoelectronic devices for future information and energy technologies. His work combines experimental and theoretical condensed matter physics with interdisciplinary collaborations across materials science, nanotechnology, and device engineering.

 

Dr. Habib has presented his research at leading national and international conferences and continues to pursue collaborative research in emerging areas of condensed matter physics. His academic interests include spintronics, molecular magnetism, ultrafast optical spectroscopy, magnetic thin films, functional nanomaterials, and advanced characterization techniques. Through his research, teaching, and mentorship, he is committed to advancing scientific excellence, innovation, and the development of future generations of physicists.
