Biography

Dr. Zaighum Tanveer is a Lecturer in Physics at the Department of Applied Sciences, National Textile University (NTU), Faisalabad, Pakistan. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from Government College University, Faisalabad, where his doctoral research focused on the optimization of copper nitride thin films for thermoelectric applications, addressing energy conversion and functional material performance. Dr. Tanveer’s academic and research expertise lies in applied physics, materials science, and semiconductor physics, with a strong emphasis on thin film technology, nanomaterials, functional textile and thermoelectric materials. His research involves the synthesis, growth, and characterization of advanced materials including oxides, nitrides, sulfides, carbides, nano‑ferrites, and multifunctional composites for electronic, energy, environmental, and textile‑based applications.

He has extensive hands‑on experience with thin film deposition techniques such as thermal evaporation, CVD, PVD, and MOCVD, along with advanced structural, optical, and electrical characterization methods. His interdisciplinary work also extends to smart textiles, conductive fabrics, biosensing materials, and sustainable polymer‑based composites.

Dr. Tanveer has published widely in reputable international journals and is an HEC‑approved supervisor, actively supervising postgraduate research. He remains committed to advancing research, teaching excellence, and innovation in materials physics and applied technologies.
