معرفی
Dr. Tanveer Hussain is a Senior Lecturer in Applied Physics at the University of New England, within the Physics & Electronics discipline in the School of Science and Technology. He earned his PhD in computational condensed matter physics from Uppsala University, Sweden, focusing on nanomaterial design for clean energy storage.
Education:
- PhD in Physics (Computational Condensed Matter Physics) - Uppsala University, Sweden
His research encompasses computational design of functional materials for hydrogen storage systems, rechargeable metal-ion/sulfur batteries, and nanosensors for environmental and biomedical applications. He develops quantum mechanical simulations to design efficient energy storage materials and detection systems for pollutants, volatile organic compounds, disease biomarkers, and warfare agents. His work on battery technologies focuses on developing electrode materials and additives for sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium-ion batteries.
Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on nanomaterial-based sensors (MXenes, transition metal dichalcogenides) for detecting gases, pollutants and disease biomarkers, and innovations in battery technologies (Zn-ion, metal-sulfur systems) through computational design and experimental validation.
Scientific Awards:
- Australian Nanotechnology Travel Award
- Vice Chancellor Travel Award (Uppsala University, Sweden)
He has supervised 5 PhD, 2 Master's, and 4 undergraduate students to completion. His research has been supported by multiple grants including a Discovery Project from the Australian Research Council ($640,350), Research Grant for Post-Doctoral Fellowship from UAE University ($280,000), and National Research Council of Thailand grants. He leads projects on nanoparticle capture, CO2 conversion, MXene biosensors, and sodium-sulfur battery development.
As part of his research activities, he collaborates with international institutions including King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (Thailand) and UAE University. His laboratory utilizes advanced computational packages like VASP for materials simulations.
