Content and Details

Sally Basim Kadhim AL-KHAFAJI, a PhD candidate in the Physics Graduate Program at Çankırı Karatekin University, has successfully defended her doctoral dissertation before an examination committee composed of distinguished faculty members from Çankırı Karatekin University, Amasya University, and Gaziantep University.

With this achievement, she has been awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and has become the first PhD graduate of the Physics Graduate Program, marking a significant milestone in the history of the program.

Her dissertation, entitled "Synthesis, Characterization, and Investigation of Novel Hydrazone Compounds Using Quantum Mechanical Methods," represents a multidisciplinary study that successfully integrates the fields of chemistry and physics.

By combining experimental approaches with theoretical quantum mechanical modeling, this research offers valuable insights into a wide range of strategic applications, including next-generation optoelectronic technologies such as organic solar cells, OLEDs, and optical sensors, materials science, novel therapeutic agents to combat multidrug resistance in pharmaceutical chemistry, and smart sensor design in coordination chemistry.

With its strong potential to contribute to advanced materials technologies and the healthcare sector, this work represents a significant scientific achievement.

We sincerely congratulate Dr. Sally Basim Kadhim AL-KHAFAJI on this remarkable accomplishment and extend our appreciation to her thesis advisor for their guidance throughout the doctoral journey.

We also thank the members of the examination committee for their valuable evaluations and wish Dr. AL-KHAFAJI continued success in her academic career.
