Dr. Imrana Kabir

Lecturer, School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering

University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney

I am currently a Lecturer in the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, UNSW Sydney. I am actively involved in research in novel materials and designs aimed at developing new approaches to the thermomechanical response of fire conditions. My current research foci are on flame-retardant, eco-composite, green, biodegradable, simulation of fire-resistant, multifunctional, photocatalyst, recyclable, and/or transformable materials. In addition to B.E. and Ph.D. academic experience, I also have over 5 years of industrial experience spanning research, applications, and project engineering roles as well and project management responsibility. In this latter capacity, I have completed a year-long, comprehensive, corporate, professional development program in the USA and Canada. Further, my experiences in both the engineering industry and academia were formally recognised in 2019 when I received a Women’s Leadership Award.
