The IRC-Construction and Building Materials at KFUPM is pleased to welcome Dr. K. Madhan as a Post-Doctoral Fellow. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Anna University, India, in 2020.

Prior to joining KFUPM, Dr. Madhan worked as a Researcher at Kyungpook National University, South Korea (July 2025 – March 2026), and as a Research Scientist at GOONWORLD Corporate Research Institute, South Korea (September 2022 – June 2025). He also served as an Assistant Professor at Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan College of Arts and Science, India, and completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at SSN College of Engineering, India (August 2020 – August 2021).

Dr. Madhan’s research focuses on the development of photocatalytic construction materials for environmental applications, including thermal insulation coatings, NOx abatement, and CO₂ capture. His work aims to create cost-effective and sustainable material solutions that improve air quality and enhance energy efficiency in urban environments.

We warmly welcome Dr. K. Madhan and look forward to his valuable contributions to sustainable materials research at IRC-Construction and Building Materials, KFUPM.
