Welcome to the Functional Nanomaterials Lab (FuNL)!

FuNL is headed by Prof. Osman Bakr of the Materials Science & Engineering Program at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).


At FuNL, we are dedicated to studying the physics and chemistry of nanomaterials
. We are interested in the synthesis, characterization, and assembly of organic and organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials of novel optical, electronic and magnetic properties that will become the future building-blocks for solar cells, batteries, photonic and optoelectronic devices.
