معرفی
Ian D. Hosein is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Syracuse University. He holds a B.A.Sc. in Engineering Science from the University of Toronto (2004) and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Cornell University (2009). His research integrates materials processing, smart polymer chemistry, and novel inorganic chemistry to develop advanced optical, electronic, and functional materials. Key areas include solar energy conversion, electrochemical energy storage, chemical separation, and smart coatings.
Research Interests: Professor Hosein’s work spans fundamental materials formation mechanisms to application-driven development. His expertise lies in energy conversion/storage systems, advanced composites, functional surfaces, optical materials/devices, and bioinspired materials. He emphasizes tailoring structure and composition for specific functionalities, from solar cell efficiency to superhydrophobic coatings.
Publications: His recent work highlights solar cell optimization through polymer waveguide lattices (2022), superhydrophobic surface fabrication via photopolymerization (2021), and sodium-ion battery electrolyte studies (2021). He also explores emerging calcium battery technologies (2021) and light-directed polymer organization (2020). These publications reflect a focus on interdisciplinary materials innovation with practical energy and industrial applications.
