معرفی
Mady Elbahri is an Associate Professor at Aalto University, Finland, leading the Nanochemistry and Nanoengineering research groups. His work bridges nanotechnology, materials science, and nanomedicine with applications in defense, energy, and healthcare.
Elbahri's research centers on plasmonic and polarizonic metasurfaces for thermal camouflage (2025 Advanced Materials), nanocellulose-derived energy storage systems (2024 Advanced Functional Materials), and antiviral nanotherapeutics for SARS-CoV-2. A unifying thread is his pioneering use of Leidenfrost phenomena for green nanochemistry synthesis, enabling sustainable nanofabrication without toxic reagents. His interdisciplinary approach integrates photonics, electrochemistry, and biomaterials engineering to solve real-world problems.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals dominant trends: (1) optical metasurfaces for infrared stealth and thermal management, (2) biomass-derived carbon aerogels for adaptive supercapacitors, and (3) nanofibrous platforms for viral treatment and wound healing. His work consistently appears in high-impact journals including Advanced Materials and Nature Communications, with his 2013 Leidenfrost nanochemistry paper establishing foundational methods for eco-friendly nanomaterial production.
Elbahri directs the Nanochemistry and Nanoengineering research groups at Aalto University, fostering collaborations across Europe and the Middle East. His team specializes in plasmonic absorbers, nanofibrous membranes, and Leidenfrost-based synthesis techniques with applications spanning military camouflage, renewable energy storage, and biomedical devices.
