Dr. Aslam Khan

Dr. Aslam Khan earned his B.Sc. (Hons.) in 1998 and M.Sc. in Chemistry in 2000 from Aligarh Muslim University, India. He completed his Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences (Materials Chemistry) in 2003 from Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, India. His research background is in colloid and interface science, with a strong focus on stimuli-responsive polymers, nanoscale materials, and their applications in chemistry, biology, biomedicine, and environmental science. His work particularly explores temperature- and pH-sensitive polymers, metal nanoparticles, and nanomaterials for drug delivery, environmental protection, and pollution control. He is especially interested in understanding the fundamental principles behind these advanced materials and their practical applications. From 2004 to 2007, he worked as a Scientist at the Centre for Nanotechnology, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi and Guwahati, where he investigated thermoresponsive polymers as nanocarriers for drug delivery systems. In 2007–2008, he joined the Nanophotonics and Nanomedicine Group at Pohang University of Science and Technology, South Korea, (Nanophotonics and Nanomedicine group http://www.nanotrio.com/) as a Postdoctoral Researcher. In mid-2008, he joined the King Abdullah Institute for Nanotechnology at King Saud University as an Assistant Professor, and he is currently serving as an Associate Professor. Dr. Khan has authored and co-authored more than 200 peer-reviewed research articles and a book chapter. He is recognized among the top 2% of scientists worldwide, a prestigious distinction based on the Stanford University database. He also serves as a reviewer and co-editor for leading journals in his field.
