Biography

Sarvarkhodzha Nematulloev is postdoctoral  researcher at the FASTER Lab at KAUST, where he develops photo-thermal catalysis systems and performs ab initio simulations of light–matter interactions for sustainable hydrogen production from H₂S. His research combines computational modeling, quantum simulations, and laser-based optical sensor development for real-time H₂S monitoring and process optimization. Prior to joining FASTER, he completed a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at KAUST, focusing on ultrafast spectroscopy, 4D electron imaging, and machine-learning-assisted modeling for materials discovery and studied charge dynamics in advanced functional materials.
