Biography
Dr. Azam is the principal investigator of a materials and surface chemistry research group in the department of chemistry at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Dhaka, Bangladesh. His multidisciplinary research is focused on the development of new multifunctional materials for energy, health and environment. Multicomponent hybrid materials for achieving increased complexity and functionality in nanoparticles have attracted enormous attention from researchers. These nanomaterials are composed of discrete domains of different components and thus can exhibit the properties of different components in the same assembly. In the Azam group, they synthesize surface-tailored, size-controlled inorganic nanoparticles and polymeric materials as well as investigate their properties and potential applications.
