Industrial Nanoparticle, Optoelectronic and Biomedical Research Dr Shahrom Mahmud

GREETINGS, a million thanks for visiting my humble webpage.

Currently, I am actively doing research on ZnO Nanoparticles, Anti-bacterial efficacy, Semiconductors (Varistors), Ceramic-Metal-Polymer Composites, Dental Composites, Nanotoxicity, Biopolymers, Ferrites and Opto-Electronics [1998-present]. Above are my photo, French ZnO industrial furnaces (used in my nano-research), nanorods & wires, nanomallet, nanotripod, nanoplate & rods, TEM-SAED of hexagonal facets and ZnO semiconductors (varistors).

With a team of five PhD, two MSc students, five biomedicine scientists, two polymer experts and three consultants, I am exploring  the morphological impact of ZnO nanoparticles on the structural, optical, electrical, antibacterial, anticancer and ecotoxicity responses. It is hoped that one day, we can discover new and better medications/innovations for the good of mankind.

My other related interests include the applications of nanomaterials in photonics, rubber/polymer industries, UV-protection pharmaceuticals, photocatalysis, anti-viral/bacterial healthcare and nano-textiles. I received eduation from Iowa State University and Universiti Sains Malaysia .

I am also providing consultation and doing collaboration with several Zn-ZnO companies, namely

-- Stratum Resources (Australia) [Murray Lines]     

---- Approfit ZnO Manufacturing (Malaysia) Co. Ltd. [Zamzam Zakaria]

------ Integrated Resource Management (Canada), Zn-ZnO expert [Dr. Peter Robinson]

---------Transient Resources (Malaysia ) Co. Ltd. varistor surge arresting products [Ishar Itam]

------------- Binani Zinc Limited (Kochin, India), zinc ingot manufacturer [Jose Joseph]

I am a reviewer of eight ISI journals  - journals on materials science, inorganic chemistry and nanotechnology. I have over 40 publications on nanostructures, surge suppressors, varistors, semiconductors and solid state physics. My papers are published in_ISI journals, IEEE proceedings, peer-reviewed journals and_conference proceedings.

I am providing advise/consultation to several ZnO and arrester factories in several countries and also to a university research national project (IRPA 02-02-04-0132EA001). All my nano-crystals are synthesized using factory furnaces and pilot plant thereby raising the commercial value of research findings.

For a decade, I have worked as an engineer at Nippon Steel, Thomson, Sumitomo, Acme and Rolnic; factories that manufacture ZnO varistors, arresters, ferrites, substrates, capacitors and ceramic tiles. While in the industry, I have mass produced about 1 billion components exported worldwide and I have handled 15 ball mills, 4 spray dryers, 50 pressing machines, 14 tunnel kilns, 13 furnaces and many other processing machineries. Apart from manufacturing, I have experience in building one factory, bottom-up, designed one ZnO pilot plant, and developed several dozens of product prototypes (tiles, ferrite cores and varistors) that were eventually mass produced. I cherish my decade-long industry work due to the satisfaction of overcoming paramountal challenges of the industry.

May You Prosper in Health and Wealth
