Biographical Sketch
Dr. Milad Kamkar received his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Calgary and was a guest researcher at Stanford University in 2019. His research focused on structure-property relationships of soft materials. After his Ph.D., he worked on 3D printing and liquid-in-liquid printing of MXene- and graphene-based hydrogels and inks at the University of British Columbia (UBC) for the fabrication of electromagnetic shields, wearable human motion sensors and all-liquid devices. Currently, he is a postdoctoral fellow at UBC Bioproducts Institute, working on the development and advanced manufacturing of sustainable bio-based materials such as cellulose nanocrystals, cellulose nanofibers, and nanochitin for diverse applications. He has been honored with more than 25 institutional, provincial, national, and international awards during his academic career, including the 2022 Young Researcher Polymer Processing Award from Polymer Processing Society.
