Polyurea

Prof. Pooria holds a bachelor's degree in Materials Science and Engineering with a focus on Ceramics, a master's degree in Metallurgy and Materials Selection, and a Ph.D. in Polymer Composites. With over 17 years of research, academic, and industrial experience, he has worked on numerous industrial, government-funded, and research projects in various countries, including Australia, Malaysia, Italy, the UK, Denmark, Singapore, and Iran. His areas of expertise included polymers, fibers, coatings, minerals, nanomaterials, biomedical applications, fuel cells, building materials, and composites. Throughout his career, he has held positions as an Associate Professor at Monash University Malaysia, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Adelaide, and a Technical Sales Specialist at Anton Paar Australia. Additionally, he has been recognized as one of the "World's Top 2% Scientists? since 2020 for his research impact in the fields of "Materials,? "Polymers,? and "Chemistry,? according to data released by Stanford University and Elsevier.

Dr. Damith Mohotti is a Senior Lecturer and an Engineering Consultant in the School of Civil Engineering and IT at UNSW Canberra at the Australian Defence Force Academy. An expert in protective structures, advanced engineering simulations, structural engineering, and engineering materials, his current research interests include blast and impact loading on structures, development of smart materials, and high strain rate behavior of engineering materials. Dr. Mohotti was a key member of the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DMTC) Eureka Prize winning team for Outstanding Science in Safeguarding Australia in 2013. In addition to his academic experience and consultancy work in engineering and the defence sector, he has worked in the construction and consultation industries for many years holding different positions. Khanisya Palaniandy is a PhD candidate in the School of Engineering at Monash University Malaysia. She has worked as a research assistant in the nanocomposites lab under an international industrial grant for a project on polyurea, and has also gained experience in mathematical modelling of colloidal particles and designing chemical production plants. Her current research focus is on polyurea nanocomposites for multifunctional coating applications. Sheik Ambarine Banon Auckloo is a PhD candidate in the School of Engineering at Monash University Malaysia. She has worked on a research project on the design of a Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) system for production of polyurea, which led to a scholarship from Monash University and an international industrial grant for further research studies in polyurea manufacturing. Her research focuses on various manufacturing processes to produce polyurea, from design, manufacturing, and characterization, to application in real-world scenarios.
