Salem Marhaba

Associate Professor of Nano-Sciences

Salem Marhaba received his Ph.D. degree in Physics from University of Lyon I in 2008. After that, he was employed as an Assistant Professor at the University of Pierre and Marie Curie (Paris VI) in 2009 and at the University of Littoral Cote d’Opale in 2010. He was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Beirut Arab University from February 2011 to July 2015. Currently, he is Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Beirut Arab University since August 2015. He served as the director of faculty of science - Tripoli Campus - from December 2019 to August 2024. He has already published more than 25 publications in scientific reviews, as well as, he has presented some of his works in the international conferences. He has provided practical and theoretical work to bridge the gap between theory and experiment, a fundamental aspect of physics. This has allowed him to help students in difficulty and answer questions from curious students. He feels it is his responsibility to improve the knowledge of students and then encourage them to work up to their potential. In addition to classroom instruction, he has advised students on appropriate research topics. Throughout his career, he has acquired significant knowledge in the field of nanotechnology and has solid experience with far-field optical techniques. He is also proficient in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for nanoparticle characterization. In addition to his responsibilities as a coordinator of Physics Department at Beirut Aran University, he continues his research on the plasmonic of metal nanostructures

Research

Research Interests

My research interests are in the area of plasmonics of nanostructures, from a single nanoparticle to ensembles. In particular, the metallic nanoparticls (noble and transition metal) display potential for such applications as enhancing the fluorescence of biological molecules. The optical properties of metallic nanoparticles are dominated by their Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR), which is known to closely depend on the size, shape, dielectric environment of the particle, their chemical composition in the case of composite systems and the interparticles distance in the case of agglomerated nanoparticles. In order to study the optical response of a single nanostructure, I used a high sensitive spectroscopic technique in far field. For more information about these nanostructures, I used the direct observation of the nanoparticles by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The coupling of the optical technique with TEM turns out to be essential to get an unambiguous description of their optical response in relation with their exact morphologies. The absolute extinction cross-sections are compared with simulations using the Finite Element Method (FEM) in the frame of COMSOL Multiphysics.
