Muhammad Zaheer

Muhammad Zaheer serves as a Senior Lecturer in Sustainable Chemistry within the School of Science & Technology at Nottingham Trent University. His academic role integrates chemistry, environmental science, and energy innovation to address global sustainability challenges.

His research spans five critical domains:

• Discovery Science: Molecular-level structural modulation for catalytic materials development
• Circular Economy Solutions: Catalytic upcycling of industrial waste (plastics, biomass, CO₂) into valuable products
• Hydrogen Economy: Next-generation catalysts for green hydrogen production (electrolysers) and storage (liquid organic carriers)
• Advanced Environmental Technologies: MOF-based membranes for industrial air/water purification
• Environmental Monitoring: Particulate matter analysis and sensor development for ambient air quality

This work directly advances UN Sustainable Development Goals 6 (Clean Water), 7 (Clean Energy), 9 (Industry Innovation), and 12 (Responsible Production), demonstrating practical applications for industrial decarbonization and resource circularity.
