Dr. Noor Haida Binti Mohd Kaus

Associate Professor

Heya!
Haida's research explores sustainable routes to functional nanomaterials. Her group designs nanostructured materials based on facile methods and cheap precursors, utilizing green chemistry principles. She's actively engaged with Nagaoka University of Technology for research in water treatments based on Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

I am looking for potential collaborators and students working in photocatalysis, waste water treatment, bioactive nanocolloids and photofunctional nanomaterials.

Education

  • B.Sc. (Hons), M.Sc. (UiTM), Ph.D. (University of Bristol, UK)

Areas of Expertise

  • Nanomaterials, Catalysis, Waste Water Treatment

Research

REsearch Interest

Haida's research focuses on the sustainable synthesis of nanomaterials. In particular, she is interested in using biomass, metals, and ceramics to produce materials for applications in energy (photocatalysts, semiconductors, batteries) and environmental remediation (wastewater treatments). She is also working on the project of bioactive nanocolloids for drug delivery!
