Jacques Doumani received his B.S. degree in Physics from the Lebanese University in Beirut, Lebanon in 2018. He pursed his first year of Masters in fundamental Physics at the Lebanese University and he earned his M.S. degree in Nano-Sciences and Nano-Technology from the University of Paris Saclay in Paris, France in 2020. His Masters internship was done at Rice Univeristy under the supervision of Prof. Kono, where he was working on Aligned Carbon Nanotube films as Hyperbolic Metamatrial. Jacques joined the Kono lab to continue his work.
In 2024, Jacques graduated with his PhD in Applied Physics from the Kono Lab. In the work for his thesis, titled "Harnessing Chirality in Ordered Carbon Nanotube Architectures at Wafer Scale," he developed novel alignment techniques for CNT films, engineered structured chirality in CNTs, and developed second-harmonic generation. Since graduation, Jacques has been a postdoctoral researcher in the Kono lab.
