Personal profile

Biography

Dr Muhammad Zareef Khan is a Research Associate in the School of Physics, Mathematics and Computing at The University of Western Australia. He received his PhD in Physics in 2024, with a thesis focused on the synthesis and magnetic properties of magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites. His research sits at the intersection of condensed matter physics, nanomaterials, and applied sensing technologies, with a strong emphasis on hydrogen-related applications.

Dr Khan has extensive experience in the synthesis of functional magnetic nanostructures and advanced magnetic characterisation techniques, including SQUID magnetometry, vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). His work aims to translate fundamental magnetic phenomena into robust sensing platforms suitable for real-world energy and industrial environments.
