Milad Kamkar is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Waterloo. His work is focused on structure property relationship of soft materials. During his PhD, professor Kamkar has made significant contributions to the understanding of the nano- and micro-structural features of polymeric systems (polymer nanocomposites, blends, solutions, hydrogels, etc.) via advanced linear and nonlinear rheological techniques. After his Ph.D., he worked on 3D printing and liquid-in-liquid printing of nanomaterials-based hydrogels/polymers/suspensions for electrical applications including fabrication of electromagnetic shields with complex geometries. His current research focuses on synthesis and additive manufacturing of sustainable (CNC, CNF, Chitin nanocrystal) and advanced materials (graphene, MXene, etc.).
