Muhammad Ibrar Ahmed

Dr. Muhammad Ibrar Ahmed is a Research Associate at the University of Newcastle, Australia, within the School of Engineering. His research focuses on advanced materials for energy applications, particularly electrochemical ammonia production and alternative methods to the Haber-Bosch process. Previously, he contributed to nanotechnology research at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia, focusing on catalytic materials for energy and petrochemical applications.

• PhD in Electrochemical Ammonia Production from the University of New South Wales, Australia

His research interests span catalysis, electrochemistry, energy storage/conversion, and nanotechnology. Key areas include nitrate reduction pathways for ammonia synthesis, sustainable energy materials, and photocatalytic systems.

Recent publications emphasize electrochemical nitrogen reduction protocols, hybrid POM-MOF materials for water treatment, and hydrogen evolution reaction catalysts. His work bridges theoretical and experimental approaches to advance sustainable energy solutions. Dr. Ahmed is actively involved in supervising three PhD students in CO₂ adsorption and microplastics membrane technologies. He collaborates with GICAN and other institutions to advance materials science and energy research.
