name : Shahadat Hussain, PhD
role : Research Associate
institution : New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD)
location : Abu Dhabi, UAE 🇦🇪
focus : Structural Metamaterials · L-PBF · NiTi Shape Memory Alloys
pronouns : he / his
status : ● Open to collaborationI am an Advanced Materials Engineer working at the intersection of computational geometry, additive manufacturing, and materials science. My research centers on designing structures whose extraordinary behaviour emerges from their geometry rather than their chemistry — turning mathematical surfaces into functional engineering materials.
