Mohammad Arjmand PhD, PEng, CRC, FIAAM

Assistant Professor, Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Advanced Materials and Polymer Engineering, Lead of Plastic Recycling Research Cluster

Faculty of Applied Science, UBC Okanagan

Background:

Dr. Arjmand received his PhD from the University of Calgary with a focus on electrical conductivity, electromagnetic interference shielding and dielectric properties of multi-walled carbon nanotube/polymer nanocomposites. His research program is currently focused on the development of conductive and magnetic nanomaterials, as well as multifunctional polymer nanocomposites. Synthesized multifunctional nanomaterials (e.g. carbon nanotube, graphene, Metal-organic frameworks, MXene) and their corresponding polymer nanocomposites may be used in applications such as electromagnetic interference shielding, strain sensing, anti-corrosion coatings, gas sensing, friction materials, charge storage, biosensing, and wastewater treatment.
