Muhammad Sohail

Dr. Muhammad Sohail is a Senior Lecturer in Chemistry and Material Science at Manchester Metropolitan University's School of Natural Sciences. His research focuses on photo/electrocatalysis and photovoltaics, with a primary goal of developing novel materials for sustainable energy transition. He specializes in energy harvesting/conversion technologies, thin-film engineering, and recycling strategies for circular economies.

Dr. Sohail is actively involved in education through the Joint Education Institute (JEI) with Hubei University, emphasizing training in energy materials and advanced analytical techniques. His teaching includes courses like 'Energy Materials for Net Zero Energy Transition' (MSc) and 'Advanced Instrumental Analysis' (Undergraduate).

His research interests span photon/electron-driven chemical transformations, CO2 reduction catalysts, and sensor technologies. Recent work emphasizes perovskite solar cells, interface engineering, and defect-tolerant materials. Collaboration with international institutions drives innovation in sustainable technologies.

Advising and grants focus on mentoring MRes/PhD students in electrocatalytic water splitting and CO2 reduction. His lab explores lab-scale to commercial device testing, with contributions to sensor design and energy storage materials.

Labs/Teams: Collaborations through the JEI network and Manchester's Natural Sciences department foster interdisciplinary research in renewable energy materials.
