Prof Inam is in receipt of two accredited postgraduate teaching qualifications and recognised as one of the leaders in engineering curriculum design and technologies. As an active member of Engineering Professors' Council, he has advised/ quality assured over 45 different universities and institutes from all the four nations of the UK. Prof Inam has also delivered engineering courses or influenced institutional higher education practice in other countries like China, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands, to list a few. With over 150 research outputs, he has presented several keynote speeches at various leading international conferences. He is a regular peer reviewer for over a dozen research journals and examines PhD theses in the UK and overseas. He is also the recipient of the ‘Materials World Award’ conferred by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IoM3, UK) in 2008.



    Highlights

    Overview


    In line with the University of East London’ commitment (our Vision 2028) towards United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals - global challenges laid down in 2015 with the aim of ensuring peace and prosperity and leaving nobody behind, Prof Inam is supporter of OPEN ACCESS research and strongly believe that research should be accessible for the mass free of charge specially for those who cannot afford it.

     

    Prof Inam’s research and enterprise expertise is primarily focused around improving the performance and functionalities of engineering products using materials science and engineering, in particular nano-influenced smart materials.

    His most recent efforts have been devoted towards the development of advanced materials (ceramics, polymers, metals and composites) and nanomaterials (including fullerenes and graphene) for aerospace, petroleum, industrial, defence and bio sectors. His expertise includes materials physics, processing, characterisation, performance evaluation, applications and sustainability.

    He has conducted several consultancies and widely published research of great commercial and scientific significance in leading peer-reviewed journal for several types of engineering materials.

    To date, with more than 150 publications (h-index: 29), he has contributed in achieving around £2.5 million research and enterprise income from government and commercial platforms (mostly as the principle investigator). Some of his funders include Royal Society, British Council, Innovate UK, Dstl/ MoD, University of London, Greater London Authority, Commonwealth Scholarship Commission etc.
