Biography

I am Basharat Hussain, a Ph.D. researcher under the supervision of Dr. Professor Tsung-Yen Tsai in the department of chemistry university of Chung Yuan Christian, Republic of Taiwan, since 2018. In my life, I have given myself a vision comprising several goals, some relating to my personal life and some to my life in the profession, which I do my best to accomplish. These goals are designed to make the most of the qualities I have found in me. One of such qualities is investigating the problems deeper and turning them into opportunities. My motivation was always towards chemistry. After graduation, I found that though I had learned a lot, I needed to know more about chemistry, so I did my master’s in physical chemistry. However, the thirst is still there to go more in-depth, investigate deeper, design simple solutions to more complex problems, and invent. If you look into my career, I have always looked for entrepreneurial opportunities. I aim to work as a researcher/teacher and convert my research into sellable ideas, win funds, create company growth and sell to return to the innovation with a proud earning. That is where I want to see myself in the future. At this career stage, I learned how to research and dig deeper into the problems during my Ph.D. In this last four-year tenure, I have been working on polymer clay nanocomposites. The main focus of my research is to design a novel catalyst for poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) polymer application in packing materials and fibers without affecting its thermomechanical and barrier properties. Traditionally PET polymer was synthesized by using antimony “Sb” as a catalyst which is considered toxic and carcinogenic, so I designed new catalysts by using organic surfactants as a modifier, one of which I discussed in the abstract. In the future, I will try to make PET Bio-Degradable. It’s a really big challenge for the researcher, however, it might be possible by mixing the different ratios of polylactic acid (PLA).
