Computational study on energy materials

​Dr Tanveer Hussain has completed my PhD from Uppsala University, Sweden in October 2013, which was followed by a short stint as research associate for two months. He won a prestigious Carl Tryggers fellowship in 2014 to work as postdoctoral researcher combined at Uppsala University and KTH Sweden. Later on Dr Hussain was awarded another highly competitive UQ postdoctoral fellowship in 2015 to work on my own research proposal at Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN). Currently Dr Hussain is working on computational studies of verious nanostructures for diverse application including energy storage, gas sensing, metal-ion batteries and single atom catalysis.
