Dr. Redha H. Al Ibrahim

Researcher, CIPR

Redha Al Ibrahim is a researcher at the Center for Integrative Petroleum Research (CIPR) at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM). His research is centered on the development and implementation of advanced laser-based instrumentation for material and energy-related studies, with a strong focus on ultrafast and time-resolved spectroscopy. His work involves the design, optimization, and operation of experimental optical setups for Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence, fluorescence, and nonlinear optical measurements, alongside high-energy and ultrafast laser systems, and advanced imaging systems. Through advancing CIPR’s laser characterization and imaging capabilities, his research aims to enable high-resolution probing of complex materials, catalytic systems, and petroleum-relevant media, supporting fundamental understanding and applied research in the center.
