About Me

Dr. Shahadat Hussain is a researcher and educator specializing in materials science and mechanical engineering. As a Postdoctoral Researcher at Khalifa University, he focuses on additive manufacturing (AM), laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), shape memory alloys (e.g., NiTi and Cu-based), metamaterials, and triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures such as Schwartz primitive and Schoen gyroid lattices. He conducts extensive material characterization (SEM, XRD, EDS, metallography, thermal analysis) and mechanical testing (tensile, compression, fatigue).
