About

Babar Shabbir, an Australian-American Fulbright Fellow and Vice Chancellor Postdoctoral Fellow at RMIT's School of Science, obtained his PhD in Engineering from the University of Wollongong, Australia, in 2016. Prior to joining RMIT, he served as a research fellow at Monash University for five years. He is interested in developing advanced radiological sensors for real-time radiation measurements and imaging applications, spanning soft X-rays, hard X-rays, and gamma rays. Leveraging advanced materials and deep learning techniques, his work aims to protect people and the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation.
