Seyed Ehsan Hadi

A highly accomplished materials researcher driving innovation in sustainable, bio-based materials by integrating state-of-the-art characterization with computational analysis.

• Pioneering Research: Expert in designing and fabricating novel wood-based nanocomposites and functional hybrid foams, engineering their structure from the nano- to macro-scale to achieve targeted performance for advanced applications.

• Mastery of Advanced Characterization: Specializes in resolving complex, beam-sensitive nanostructures using cutting-edge microscopy (cryo-TEM/SEM, FIB-SEM) and scattering techniques (SAXS/WAXS). Pioneered novel sample preparation (cryo-ultramicrotomy) and analytical workflows to visualize materials in their native state and guide material design.

• Computational Materials Science & Automation: Develops software using Python to automate large-scale datasets. Creates software/tools for extracting quantitative structural information

• Proven Leader & Collaborator: Managed cross-functional projects, mentored over 18 students, and secured prestigious grants from the Wallenberg Wood Science Center and TÜBİTAK to fund and direct cutting-edge research initiatives.

• Scientific Authority & Influencer: Authored 14+ publications and actively shapes the scientific discourse as a Guest Editor and a trusted peer reviewer for over 7 leading journals, including for the American Chemical Society.

• Bridging Lab to Industry: Focused on establishing robust process-structure-property correlations essential for scaling up sustainable materials from academic discovery to industrial implementation.
