 | Biography |  |
Dr. Wahab worked to develop on the reproducible functional sol-gel self-assembly process for confining various chemo/photoluminescent materials into the nanochannels of mesoporous framework for optical-electronics devises or thin film based applications. Currently, he is focusing on nanoporous nanomaterials and catalyst containing nanoporous materials for innovative applications such hydrogen energy storage and nanobiotechnology. Dr. Wahab received his PhD from Prof. Chang-Sik Ha’s group, Pusan National University, S. Korea. His areas of expertise include the synthesis and molecular engineering of functional nanomaterials such as inorganic nanoparticles, carbons, nano/mesoporous materials and thin films, and nanocomposites.
With his knowledge and expertise in the field of surface chemistry and functional nanoamterials and catalyzed nanomaterials worked as a Research Scientist (2005-2009) in Agency for Science and Technology for Research (A*STAR-IMRE), Singapore with Prof. Alan Sellinger (currently he is an executive director and Prof. of Stanford Univ, USA) and Chaobin He (Principal Scientist of IMRE and Prof. of NUS). He worked to develop on the reproducible functional sol-gel self-assembly process for confining various chemo/photoluminescent materials into the nanochannels of mesoporous framework for further optical-electronics devises or thin film based applications. He has 30 peer reviewed journal articles including Chemistry of materials, Langmuir, Journal of Materials Chemistry, Journal of Polymer Science Part A, Polymer, Microporous and Mesoporous Materials, Chemistry Letters, Soft Materials (Editor Choice), 1 book chapter, and held one authorized patent and delivered 23 presentations/seminars and 5 invited talks in scientific meetings/congresses/institutes. A recent search of ISI Web of Science shows his entire publications have been cited for 286 times. His h-index is 9. He is a regular review of Journal of the American Chemical Society, Microporous and Mesoporous Materials, Journal of Applied Materials and Interfaces, ACS Nano, Macromolecular Research and Journal of International Environmental Application & Science.
As a postdoctoral research fellow at ARC Centre of Excellence for Functional Nanomaterials, AIBN, UQ, he focused on nanoporous nanomaterials and catalyst containing nanoporous materials for innovative applications such hydrogen energy storage and nanobiotechnology.
