Sami-Ullah Rather
Dr Sami-ullah Rather is currently working as an associate professor at Chemical and Materials Engineering Department, King Abdul-Aziz University, Saudi Arabia. He received his PhD in Chemical Engineering in 2008 from School of Semiconductor and Chemical Engineering, Chonbuk National University, South Korea. He then joined as a postdoctoral research associate at Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), South Korea, Pennsylvania State University, USA and Oklahoma University, USA. For the last 17 years, he has been involved in hydrogen storage studies of nanocrystalline metal and metal-CNT composites; complex metal hydrides and their composites for hydrogen storage applications; hydrogen and CO2 trapping in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and catalyst/MOFs composites; CNT functionalization and applications; ferrites and their composites synthesis and applications. He has more than 47 publications in high impact factor international journals. Furthermore, he has been a reviewer for more than 15 international journals including the Journal of Physical Chemistry, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Journal of Nanomaterials etc. His current research interests are focused on the development of Novel metallic organic frameworks (MOFs) for CO2 capture; synthesis, characterization, and energy storage of nanomaterials, highly porous materials, and composites; application of ferrites.
