Tanvir Hussain is a highly experienced Research Leader at a Russell Group university, the University of Nottingham, in the UK with experience in leading large teams in both teaching and research in both strategic and operational capacities. He was inducted as a Fellow of ASM International (FASM), the world’s largest association of materials-centric engineers and scientists. The honour of Fellow represents recognition of distinguished contributions in the field of materials science and engineering. His active research grants at UoN as a PI and Co-I total £9.031 m, of which £4.176 m as a PI. Tanvir holds an EPSRC Research Fellowship (£1.7 m), working on new frontiers in materials discovery with 7 PDRAs reporting to him.Tanvir is a Co-Director of EPSRC CDT in Digital Metal, Co-Director of Marie Curie Doctoral Training Network REMAKE, and Co-Director of EPSRC Network+ IGNITE+.
Tanvir is an internationally distinguished researcher in Coatings and Surface Engineering, with 145 peer-reviewed articles in internationally leading journals that shaped the academic discipline. He is an Editor of the Journal of European Ceramic Society. Tanvir is consistently within the top 2% of the scientists worldwide, as reported by the Stanford University. As a thought leader, he have found the sub-disciplines of composite sprayed coatings. Tanvir’s outstanding academic distinction and established reputation for academic excellence include 27 Keynote and Invited talks at international conferences.
Research
Tanvir’s research focuses on advanced coatings and surface engineering for aerospace, automotive, renewable energy and healthcare sectors. I am particularly interested in the understanding of novel materials processing techniques, especially thermal spray and cold gas dynamic spray. Process-microstructure-properties relationship is at the heart of my research.
