Zakir Hossain

Zakir Hossain completed his PhD in the area of cellulose-based nanocomposite materials at the University of Nottingham (UK) in 2013. After that, he joined as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Nottingham (UK) working with various projects (IKC PoC, EPSRC-IAA and NIHR-i4i) in the area of Materials Processing including composites, nanocomposites, fibres, membranes, microspheres (solid and porous) using cellulose nanocrystals, biopolymers and glass/ceramic materials for tissue engineering and biomedical applications.

Currently, he is working as Research Associate (with Karen Edler and Janet Scott) at the University of Bath as a part of GelEnz project investigating cellulose-starch interactions for the formation of gels and films.
