About Abid Karim

He received several trainings including two foreign trainings; one was on the, “Distributed Laboratory Instrumentation Control System”, at ICTP, Italy, co-sponsored Central European Initiative (CEI). The second was on the “Information Security Management”, at SIRIM, Malaysia, which was jointly sponsored by “Malaysian Technical Cooperation Program (MCTP)” and “World Association of Industrial and Technological Research Organization (WAITRO)”.

In 2007, he moved to Germany where he did Master in Material Science and his master thesis was about the Electro dynamics of the low dimensional organic superconductor at extreme low temperatures. He did PhD in the field of
Optics / Electronics under extreme pressure and temperatures conditions. He worked on several applied projects relating to the Electrical and Spectroscopic techniques in combination with the high-pressure and low-temperatures technology for the characterization of materials. Several materials were studied such as one or two dimensional organic conductors / superconductors, magnetic, dielectrics, Organics Light Emitting Diodes (OLED), electrical and thermal contacts, thin films and evaporation techniques. In the talk, he will give us a short introduction about the advanced materials and their spectroscopic instrumentation under extreme pressure and temperature conditions.
