  Mohammad Jawaid

Dr. Mohammad Jawaid is currently working as Fellow Researcher (Associate Professor) at Biocomposite Technology Laboratory, INTROP, Universiti Putra Malaysia(UPM), Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia, and also Visiting Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, College of Engineering, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia since June 2013. I am also Adjunct Research Advisor, Nan Yang Academy of Sciences (NAS), Singapore and Visiting Scientist to TEMAG Laboratory, Faculty of Textile Technologies and Design at Istanbul Technical University, Turkey. I have more than 14 years of experience in teaching, research and industries. My area of research interests includes hybrid reinforced/filled polymer composites, advance materials: graphene/nanoclay/fire-retardant, lignocellulosic reinforced/filled polymer composites, modification and treatment of lignocellulosic fibres and solid wood, Biopolymers and biopolymers for packaging applications, nanocomposites and nanocellulose fibres, polymer blends.

Muhammed Lamin Sanyang is currently a post-doctoral fellow in the Laboratory of Biocomposite Technology at the Institute of Tropical Forestry and Forest Products (INTROP), Universiti Putra Malaysia. In 2011, he was awarded the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) masters scholarship to pursue his Master’s Degree (MSc) in Environmental Engineering at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). Upon completing his MSc programme in 2013, he was again awarded the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP) by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia to undertake a PhD degree in the field of Green Engineering at the Institute of Advance Technology (ITMA), UPM.
