Dr. Md Milon Hossain completed his undergraduate and master’s studies in engineering, specializing in Polymer Materials and Textiles, at Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University. He then pursued a PhD in Fiber and Polymer Science with a minor in Electrical Engineering at North Carolina State University. Throughout his doctoral studies, Dr. Hossain engaged in research internships at Fraunhofer Institute for Casting, Composite and Processing Technology IGCV in Germany. His PhD studies revolved around the highly aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) synthesis, micro-macro assembly of CNTs for wearable electronic applications. In his postdoctoral research at Cornell University, Dr. Hossain concentrated on pioneering developments with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanocomposites. This work aimed to improve the thermal insulation properties of high-voltage power cables, contributing to the sustainability objectives of lunar missions.

Dr. Hossain stands out as the primary author of numerous pioneering research articles published in esteemed academic journals including Nature Flexible Electronics and ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces. Collaborative ventures, including corresponding authorship, have resulted in significant contributions to journals Journal of Materials Chemistry A, Chemistry of Materials, InfoMat, Journal of Materials Chemistry C, ACS Materials Letters, and Advanced Electronic Materials among others, and more.

He received different awards including 1st place in the AATCC student paper competition and Animal Health Hackathon, NC State University. His current research includes Smart/e-textiles, nanomaterials, flexible electronics, bioelectronics, conductive polymers, and nanocomposites
