In his interview with Hanzhou Global Technology and Innovation Center, Dr. Ali Imran mentioned that they have a plan to design the complete product based on this research to let the consumer enjoy the highly efficient features of this new technology development.
Dr. Ali Imran is a senior researcher in Optoelectronics devices which include, Photosensors, Photodetectors, Phototransistors, and Solar Cells and is also working on the fabrication of synaptic vision sensors through the complex integration of 2D/3D materials, high-k dielectrics, and Ferroelectrics.
He is the recipient of the Distinguished International Researcher Award from the Beijing Institute of Technology. From 2018-2020, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the State Key Lab of Micro and Mesoscopic Physics, School of Physics, Peking University.
Dr. Ali Imran joined the School of Micro and Nano Electronics, at Zhejiang University, China in 2021. Currently, he is also working jointly with Zhejiang University Hangzhou Global Innovation and Technology Center, Hangzhou.
He is also a consultant as an R&D expert for IC FAB and Foundaries and has published 32 research articles with 8 as first author, 1 patent, and 1 book on the design and fabrication of semiconductor materials and electronic devices, such as field effect transistors, phototransistors, memristors, photodetectors, and photovoltaic devices.
Dr. Ali Imran is an expert in device fabrication and characterization techniques and has publications in reputed journals and conferences, which include Applied Physics Letter, Small, Applied Sciences, Journal of Semiconductor Physics, Composites Science and Technology and Journal of Computational Electronics, Advanced Functional Materials, Advanced Materials Interfaces, Surfaces and Interfaces, Advanced Optical Materials, Materials Today Nano.
He likes to cooperate in scientific and research activities to share his experience and exchange innovative ideas and feels happy to support and supervise active researchers, especially from Pakistan working in his research field.
Talkin to the APP, Dr. Ali Imran said that he is very happy to work with Chinese Scientists to discover and develop new technologies to facilitate humanity for future technology demands.
He feels thankful to the Chinese community for giving him a chance to make his future career and absorb him in their society. Dr. Ali Imran is also in communication with Chinese high-tech electronic companies to help Pakistan build up the Pakistani-owned Semiconductor industry.
He hopes that his expertise will also help his nation to find a good solution for energy crises through cost-effective solar cell fabrication in local industries. The Chinese as being long-term traditional friends are always ready to support to solve energy-related issues.
Dr. Ali Imran also hopes that the Pakistani Government will organize their talent to make a strong, powerful pool of young scientists and to focus them toward the solution to current challenges faced by their homeland.
He showed his determination that he will continue his efforts to make China China-Pakistan friendship longer and stronger in all fields of life, especially in Science and Technology
ISLAMABAD, September 24 (APP): As the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal dawned, Pakistan has come alive with vibrant celebrations in honor of Eid Miladun Nabi, the birthday of the Holy Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him, slated for September 29.

He disclosed that numerous rallies would be organized, commencing from various sectors and suburban areas of the federal capital, as a tribute to the Holy Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him.
The main march, orchestrated by Dawat-e-Islami in the federal capital, would commence from Jamea Masjid Faizan-e-Madina, Sector G-11 Markaz, following Friday Prayer. It would culminate at the same venue with Magrib Prayer, accompanied by supplications for Pakistan’s peace, progress, prosperity, security, and sovereignty.
Amir Attari emphasized that these rallies, in commemoration of Eid Miladun Nabi, would not be confined to Pakistan alone but would resonate across the world, demonstrating heartfelt reverence for the Holy Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him under the banner of Dawat-e-Islami.
He also noted the substantial investment in the decoration of Faizan-e-Madina, Islamabad, with captivating lights. Furthermore, he highlighted that Mehfil-e-Milad (gatherings to celebrate the birth of the Prophet) and Seerat Conferences were being held nationwide to shed light on the exemplary life of the Holy Prophet Peace Be Upon Him and to inspire believers to follow His noble path, ultimately contributing to the betterment of humanity.
In addition, the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony would host the two-day 48th International Seerat-un-Nabi Conference — Practical Wisdom for Economic Prosperity in the light of Sunnah — on Rabi-ul-Awwal 11-12 (September 28-29) in the federal capital.
Ministry’s Spokesperson Muhammad Umar Butt informed APP that renowned Ulema and religious scholars, both national and international would address the conference to highlight the multiple aspects of the Sunnah Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), besides tackling the contemporary issues confronting the Muslim Ummah.
