Dr Mokarram Hossain

Associate Professor

Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering (ZCCE)
Bay Campus, Swansea University

Research Interest 

My research interests lie in the wide and interdisciplinary areas of soft polymeric and active functional materials from experiments to computational modelling. I have been active in the areas of biological tissue modelling and polymeric material characterizations. Recently I am interested in responsive gels (e.g. hydrogels, ferrogels) and self-healing soft materials. I have obtained research grants from industry for energy harvesting using electro-active polymers from Ocean Waves in the Wales Coast.
