Hassaan Ahmad Butt

Ph.D. thesis: “CNT percolation network-based monitoring for in situ and post manufacturing applications in thermoset nanocomposites”.

Supervisor: Prof. Sergey Abaimov

IDC committee members: Prof. Sergey Abaimov , Stepan Lomov, Prof. Iskander Akhatov

Hassaan Ahmad Butt graduated with his Bachelor’s degree in Materials Engineering from the top ranked institution in Pakistan, The National University of Sciences and Technology in 2012. Upon graduation, Hassaan was readily accepted into a national research organization where his work focused on the design, manufacturing and practical implementation of composites and nanocomposites. In 2014, Hassaan won a full ride scholarship for his Master’s degree in Materials Science to the Chinese C9 member institute, The Harbin Institute of Technology. In 2018, Hassaan joined Skoltech as a Research Intern and switched to his PhD, with his work now focusing on carbon nanocomposites, their electrical properties and industrial applications.
