Dr. Mohamed R. Khodja is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering in the College of Engineering at Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University. He holds a Ph.D. from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, USA; an M.S. degree from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia; and a B.S. degree from the University of Constantine in Algeria. Before joining PMU, Dr. Khodja served as a faculty member at KFUPM, where he co-founded and led the Computational Rock Physics Laboratory for six years and taught courses in electrical engineering and physics. He previously worked as a Postdoctoral Scientist in the Mathematics and Modeling Department at Schlumberger-Doll Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. His Ph.D. research focused on the theoretical and numerical aspects of optimal electromagnetic radiation from metamaterial sources, while his M.S. thesis investigated theoretical tests of the Standard Model of elementary particles.
Dr. Khodja’s work has resulted in several peer-reviewed publications and U.S. patents. His honors include a Recognition of Scientific Patent from KFUPM and a Dissertation Writing Fellowship from Northeastern University. His current research interests include the design and modeling of metamaterial and magnetodielectric-enhanced antennas for crosswell and borehole imaging, metamaterials for quantum vacuum engineering, transformation-based analog gravity devices, and Casimir force modulation in engineered media. As an educator, Dr. Khodja is dedicated to excellence in teaching, research, and innovation, inspiring students and contributing to the advancement of science and engineering.
