Dr. Khaliq Chaudhary Professor at The Department of Physics, The Islamia University of Bahawalpur M.Sc., M. Phil (Physics) at Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan D. Sc.(Materials Science) at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan He joined Islamia University of Bahawalpur in 1979 as lecturer in Physics. He got M. Sc. and M. Phil. Degrees in Physics, from Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad in 1979 and 1987, respectively. In 1989 he was awarded Monbusho scholarship for higher studies in Japan. He joined Tokyo Institute of Technology in April, 1989. Received D.Sc. in Materials Science in July 1993 from Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology and returned home to resume duties as lecturer at Islamia University of Bahawalpur. He was promoted to Assistant Professor in. 1994. He then joined GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology as an Associate Professor in July 2000 for one year. He was promoted to Associate Professor and Professor positions at home in 2001 and 2003 respectively. Research Interests are Plasma Processing of Materials and High~ Tc Superconductivity. He has been engaged in graduate and under-graduate level teaching and research for the last 25 years. During this period he has supervised M.Sc., M. Phil and Ph.D. level research and has taught courses in the diversified areas of physics and Materials Science. He has also worked as principal investigator in three Hi-tech projects funded by the University Grants Commission and Pakistan Science Foundation. During his stay at Japan, he has gone through a one year intensive Japanese language course and has worked on a project for the development of an atmospheric pressure plasma source. His pioneering work in this area has led to a novel technique to Process materials in open air, which is now being successfully applied to thin film deposition and semiconductor wafer etching worldwide. He is member of numerous prestigious international bodies like IEEE, American Vacuum Society, American Electrochemical Society and IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. He is life member of PVS, PPS, PIP and Monbusho Alumni Association of Pakistan. He has participated in several international conferences in Pakistan, Japan and USA and has published many research papers in the refereed journals of international repute. Currently his interests include generation, characterization and applications of atmospheric pressure cold plasma.
