BIOGRAPHY   
 
Mogtaba Mekki received his Ph.D. degree in Physics (2025) from Durham University, UK. My specialization in the experimental and numerical characterization of ion-induced surface modifications. My research interests also encompass the fractal analysis of surface growth phenomena. In addition, I am actively engaged in the experimental teaching methodologies in physics with implementing Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) techniques.
