Mark Bissett

Dr. Mark Bissett is Reader in Nanomaterials at the University of Manchester's Department of Materials Engineering. He holds a PhD in Nanotechnology from Flinders University and was Research Assistant Professor at Kyushu University before joining Manchester. He directs the Advanced Nanomaterials Group focusing on 2D material applications.

His research integrates graphene, carbon nanotubes, and transition metal dichalcogenides into electrochemical energy storage devices and polymer nanocomposites. Key areas include:

• Supercapacitor and battery electrode design
• Tribological coatings for industrial applications
• Multifunctional structural composites

Publications span electrodeposition techniques, composite reinforcement strategies, and nanomaterial synthesis. Recent work shows strong emphasis on graphene-enhanced composites, MXene applications, and energy storage innovations.

He teaches nanotechnology and composites courses, and leads the Nanotechnology unit coordination. Industrial collaborations include his role as CSO at MOLYMEM Limited. Laboratory facilities at the National Graphene Institute support his group's experimental work.
