About Me
Dr. Shahadat Hussain is a materials researcher focused on additive manufacturing and smart alloys.
At Khalifa University, he develops laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) processes for shape memory alloys (NiTi, Cu-based) and designs TPMS metamaterials (Schwarz primitive, gyroid).
He combines in-depth characterization (SEM, XRD, EDS, thermal) with mechanical testing to enable next-generation architected materials.
