Dr. Hasnain earned his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai (2013). During his doctoral dissertation he mainly focused on polymer chemistry and porphyrin-fullerene nano-composites.

In details he has worked on;

·        Synthesis and characterization of metal complexes.

·        Synthesis and functionalization of different Porphyrin, Graphene and Fullerene derivatives.

·        Decoration of porphyrin and fullerene derivatives with different types of polymers including pH, UV and thermosensitive polymers via RAFT and Click-chemistry approaches.

·        Synthesis of metallic nanoparticles for their electrochemical and catalytic studies.

·        Fabrication and modification of different types of electrodes via Electrospinning and sputtering for biosensors and bio-fuel cell applications.

·        Fabrication of modified electrodes and development of different aptasensors and immunosensors.

He has published a number of articles in internationally recognized journals. Currently, he has multidisciplinary research interests in supramolecular chemistry, advance materials, metal nanoparticles and biomaterials including their potential applications as  sensors and biosensors, bioresorbable medical devices and Bio-fuel cells. He'll welcome the self-motivated and hard-working young researchers under the said domain for their Masters and PhD thesis.
