Khurshed Ahmad Shah (FIOP)is an Associate Professor in the PG Department of Physics at Sri Pratap College, School of Sciences, Cluster University Srinagar, India. He obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, in 2007, and earned M.Sc. and M.Phil. degrees from the University of Kashmir, Srinagar. He topped the Physics selection list of the Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission and joined the Higher Education Department as an Assistant Professor in 2009. His research spans nanotechnology, carbon nanomaterials, computational modelling, and device physics. His pioneering work on carbon material synthesis has contributed to the development of novel catalysts and carbon nanotubes with enhanced properties for advanced device applications. He proposed an innovative approach for determining the nature of bundled carbon nanotubes, addressing a long-standing challenge in the field. His research in modelling and simulation has enabled the design of nanoscale sensors, heterostructures, and photodetectors based on nanomaterials with significant potential for electronic and optoelectronic applications. He has authored 71 research papers in reputed peer-reviewed journals, 8 papers in conference proceedings, presented 15 conference papers, delivered 25 invited lectures, authored 06 books published by national and international publishers. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (FIOP), London, and holds membership in several national and international scientific and academic societies. His distinguished recognitions include a Visiting Scientist Fellowship at Howard University, USA; four Visiting Scientist Fellowships at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bengaluru; an Indian National Science Academy (INSA) Visiting Scientist Fellowship; and service as Secretary of two specialist groups of the Institute of Physics, London.
