Researcher biography
Hadis is a materials researcher in the School of Mechanical & Mining Engineering and in the Centre for Advanced Materials Processing and Manufacturing (AMPAM) at the University of Queensland. She received her Ph.D. from the Intelligent Polymer Research Institute at the University of Wollongong for her research on the development of nano-filled bio-thermoplastics as print media for 3D additive fabrication.
Hadis has an interest in a wide range of materials research activities, including additive manufacturing, nanocomposites, polymer processing, thermal conductivity, tribological properties, and electrochemical corrosion. Recently, she has worked on a technology development project focused on advancing flexible printed zinc-ion batteries, supporting innovation in next-generation flexible devices.
