To address a critical challenge, my Fulbright project focuses on innovating highly sensitive dual-energy X-ray detectors. This project aims to contribute to improved imaging while also expected to provide an adequate level of protection to individuals during radiology applications and non-human species or wildlife by reducing X-ray exposures to the environment in non-destructive applications.

Babar is a physicist and material scientist whose current research interests include the fabrication of next-generation X-ray detectors for applications such as radiology and non-destructive testing. He has experience in fabricating X-ray detecting devices, designing detectors, and testing detectors.

As a Fulbright Scholar, Babar is headed to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. There, he will work with Professor Ling Jian Meng to develop highly sensitive dual-energy X-ray detectors. This is important for medical scans and tests that require accurate and detailed results.
