Nasser Nikfarjam is visiting scholar in the College of Engineering and Computing (CEC), University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA from 2022. He is also an assistant professor of polymer chemistry at the Institute for advanced studies in basic sciences (IASBS), where he began working in 2014. He got his Ph.D. in Polymer Chemistry from the University of Tehran, where he worked on the water-expandable polystyrene nanocomposites prepared using natural polymer nanoparticles. Then, he began his career as an assistant professor in the IASBS. In 2012, he was awarded a sabbatical leave from the University of Tehran for collaborating with the Georgia Institute of Technology (GeorgiaTech), Atlanta, GA, USA with focusing on the fabrication of inverse emulsions via cellulose nanofibrils. Dr. Nikfarjam’s research interests include the chemistry, properties, rheology, and application of material technologies for biomedical science, tissue engineering, antimicrobial synthetic materials, and 3D-bioprinting. His group has gained experience in emulsion, microemulsion, miniemulsion, and Pickering emulsions to prepare nano/microparticles and highly porous interconnected materials for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications.
