Biography
Dr Said have a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Jordan (August 2011). After I got my Ph.D. degree, He have worked as an assistant professor of physics since in two private universities in Riyadh. My dissertation is to investigate theoretically by using and employing the computational methods and technologies, of the Half-metallic properties and spin polarization of Heusler alloys which used in spintronics technologies. Through working as an assistant professor of physics, in addition to physics courses I taught both mathematics and statistical courses. Also, I contributed to many committees such as quality assurance committee. These experiences make me more dynamic and confidence to teach any courses in physics and mathematics. My research focuses on subjects central to study and investigate computationally, from an ab initio standpoint, the electronic and magnetic properties of new functional nanomaterials such as catalyst, topological insulators, Half-metallic etc. One of the most important interests for me is to construct and modeling calculations by the clustering solution. If there are a clustering solution and HPC technology in your department, I can use these facilities and pursue my research projects. Furthermore, I was attended many workshops and tutorials in High-Performance Computing (HPC) and computational physics, which was very interesting and useful for me. My experience and knowledge in ab initio packages such as Wien2k and abinit, OS operating systems and C/C++ and FORTRAN programming qualified me to be a computational physics researcher.
