TabsSummaryDr. Abbad Al Baroot is an Associate Professor in the College of Engineering at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Science from the University of Sheffield, UK, in August 2019 . His expertise lies in the development and application of advanced materials for engineering solutions. His research involves the development of water-gated thin film transistors for advanced sensor applications. These transistors enable low-voltage operation and enhance sensitivity. By engineering the semiconductor and dielectric interfaces, His aim to optimize device performance for the detection of chemical and biological analytes. This work contributes to the design of cost-effective, eco-friendly, and highly responsive sensing platforms suitable for environmental monitoring, healthcare diagnostics, and real-time detection systems. . He has published over 24 peer-reviewed articles in high-quality refereed journals, including Thin Solid Films, Optics and Laser Technology, Analyst, and the Journal of Materials Science. He has also served as a reviewer for several academic journals. Publications• Al Baroot et al,A membrane-free cation selective water-gated transistor.
