Hydrogen Production from Seawater Electrolysis

Dr. Z.K. Ghouri is a VC's Research Fellow in the NZIIC at Teesside University and Assistant Professor in the ICCBS at the University of Karachi. Before joining TU, he was Research Scientist in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University at Qatar. Dr. Ghouri is endorsed by the Royal Academy of Engineering as a Global Talent. His research interests can be divided into two focus areas, namely, 1) Synthesis of metallic nanoparticles decorated carbon nanostructures (nanofibers, nanotubes, or graphene) for neutral/alkaline seawater electrolysis and fuel cells, and 2) nanofabrication and characterization of novel pure organic (polymeric)/inorganic (ceramics) and composite materials for energy and environmental applications. He received his Ph.D. in engineering from the Department of BIN Fusion Engineering, Chonbuk National University under the prestigious Brain Korea (BK21) Fellowship. So far, he has published about 60 research papers in top-quality international peer-reviewed journals.

Dr. Dilshad Hussain works in the field of functional nanomaterials and their applications in textiles, sensing, membranes, and catalysis. His research work is focused on Metal-Organic Frameworks, Metal/Metal Oxide composites, Carbon Nanomaterials, Polymeric Materials, Quantum Dots, and Anisotropic Gold Nanoparticles. Dr. Dilshad's group research projects include multifunctional textiles, nano-functionalized membranes for environmental applications, and smartphone-assisted portable sensors. He has published more than 100 research papers in high-impact factor international journals with an accumulative Impact Factor above 500. He has also received two national research awards (Best Research Paper Award from HEC Pakistan and Research Productivity Award from Pakistan Council for Science and Technology Pakistan).

Prof. David Hughes is a professor of low carbon materials and the Associate Dean for Research and Innovation within the Department of Engineering and has worked at the University since 2013. Prior to joining Teesside University David worked as a design and development technician in the polymer industry winning the Society of Polymer Engineers national award in 2008. David works closely with local trusts and industries. David is the Chair of the national IOM3 Polymer Group and sits on a number of government steering groups related to plastics. He coordinates the University Circular Economy and Recycling Innovation Centre (CERIC) with TWI.

Dr. Z.K. Ghouri 是 Teesside University NZIIC 的 VC 研究員及 Karachi University ICCBS 的助理教授。在加入 TU 之前，他曾擔任卡塔爾德州農工大學化學工程系的研究科學家。Dr. Ghouri 獲得英國皇家工程院的全球人才認證。他的研究興趣可分為兩個重點領域：1) 合成裝飾金屬奈米粒子的碳奈米結構（奈米纖維、奈米管或石墨烯）以用於中性/鹼性海水電解和燃料電池；2) 新型純有機（聚合物）/無機（陶瓷）及複合材料的奈米製造和特性分析，應用於能源和環境領域。他在全州國立大學的 BIN 融合工程系獲得工程學博士學位，並獲得了享有盛譽的 Brain Korea (BK21) 獎學金。迄今為止，他已在高品質的國際同行評審期刊上發表約 60 篇研究論文。

Dr. Dilshad Hussain 專注於功能性奈米材料及其在紡織品、感測器、膜和催化中的應用。他的研究工作集中於金屬有機框架、金屬/金屬氧化物複合材料、碳奈米材料、聚合物材料、量子點和各向異性金奈米粒子。Dr. Dilshad 的團隊研究項目包括多功能紡織品、用於環境應用的奈米功能化膜以及智能手機輔助的便攜式感測器。他在高影響因子的國際期刊上發表了超過 100 篇研究論文，累積影響因子超過 500。他還獲得了兩項國家研究獎項（巴基斯坦高等教育委員會最佳研究論文獎和巴基斯坦科學與技術委員會研究生產力獎）。

Prof. David Hughes 是低碳材料的教授，並擔任工程系的研究與創新副院長，自 2013 年以來一直在該大學工作。在加入 Teesside University 之前，David 曾在聚合物行業擔任設計與開發技術員，並於 2008 年獲得聚合物工程師協會的全國獎項。David 與當地信託和產業密切合作。他是全國 IOM3 聚合物小組的主席，並參與多個與塑料相關的政府指導小組。他與 TWI 協調大學的循環經濟與回收創新中心（CERIC）。
