He completed his graduate studies at Cornell University in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The final year of doctoral work was funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). Dr. Hosein completed a post-doctoral position at McMaster University, Canada, through an NSERC Collaborative Research and Training Experience Program in Photovoltaics. At Syracuse University, Dr. Hosein leads an innovative group of graduate and undergraduate students to create materials-based solutions to address global issues on energy, the environment, and sustainability. The group combines materials processing techniques with smart polymer chemistry to create highly organized polymeric materials tailored with enhanced optical, electronic, and chemical functionality.
