Ahmed F. Almutairi, Ph.D.

I am an Assistant Professor at Taibah University with a PhD in Manufacturing Engineering. My research focuses on quantum materials, particularly engineering color centers in silicon carbide (SiC) for scalable quantum technologies. I specialize in creating and localizing point defects in wide-bandgap semiconductors to enable room-temperature qubit operations, bridging advanced materials science with emerging quantum applications. My work integrates semiconductor processing, quantum optics, and defect engineering, positioning SiC as a promising platform for future quantum computing and communication devices.
