Assistant Professor Hassaan Ahmad Butt graduated from the School of Chemical and Materials Engineering of the National University of Sciences and Technology in Pakistan in 2012. He was awarded a national fellowship based on his project work in 2011 until his graduation, upon which he joined service as a Government Researcher. In 2014, he was awarded a full-ride scholarship from the China Scholarship Council for his Master’s degree at the Harbin Institute of Technology in China (C9 league). He graduated with his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering in 2023 from the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, where he developed novel nanocomposite monitoring techniques using carbon nanotube fibers. 

He currently leads the research direction of polymer and fiber reinforced polymer nanocomposites at the Laboratory of Nanomaterials. His interests include nanocomposite manufacturing optimization, multifunctional nanocomposites, smart and self-diagnostic materials and structures, and electrically and thermally conductive nanocomposites. His projects and research are heavily focused on the industrial application of such materials.
