BACKGROUND

Dr Shayan Seyedin is currently a Senior Lecturer in Chemical Engineering at 缅北禁地. He leads research activities on smart materials manufacturing. Research focuses on creating sustainable solutions for energy, healthcare, and wearable applications. He is reimagining wearable technology through innovation in materials design and fabrication. This involves designing processes to develop novel materials that are electroactive. The main focus is on the development of MXenes, a family of two-dimensional nanoscale materials.

His work has led to the discovery of a new generation of smart wearable devices that track the wearer’s health and physical activities. He has developed new biosensors that detect various biomarkers. These provide real-time health monitoring and help manage diseases. The goal is to improve the quality of life by advancing the state of the art in health monitoring, diagnostics, and technology integration.

His work has also made pioneering advances in the development of novel electrode materials. These electrode materials are processed into green, safe, and high-performance energy storage systems. The goal is to meet the growing global energy needs and reduce the environmental impacts of fossil fuel use.

Dr Seyedin has been recognised amongst the Top 2% Scientists Worldwide in 2023 and 2024 by Elsevier. Research has been published in >60 journal articles and book chapters including 6 Highly Cited Papers (Web of Science). His research has featured in >100 media outlets (e.g., CNBC News, Newsweek, and Yahoo! News). Media releases and outreach activities have raised public awareness of wearable systems. Current funded projects include an EPSRC grant (PI). He has successfully completed >15 funded research and industry consultancy projects (>£1.2M). His current research team is composed of 8 PhD candidates, 2 research associates, and 2 visiting academics. He previously supervised >10 PhD students and research staff.
