Saad Khan
Saad Khan is currently the INVISTA Professor in the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at North Carolina State University. After finishing his PhD in Chemical Engineering at MIT, he worked as a postdoctoral research associate at AT&T Bell Laboratories, prior to joining NC State. Saad has varied research interests ranging from developing functional materials such as aerogels and matrices for improved food security to understanding rheological behavior of soft solids and gels. In the latter context, he has focused on several different areas including enzymatic modification of water-soluble polymer and gels, photo crosslinked polymers, self-assembled nanoparticulate silica and nanodiamond gels, associative polymer interactions with surfactants and cyclodextrins, leading to applications in coatings, personal care, and energy storage device, to name a few. Khan has supervised over 60 PhD students and several postdocs, whose work has resulted in over 270 publications (h index 75) and 17 patents. Khan has won several awards including being a Fellow of the Society of Rheology and RJR Reynolds Tobacco Award for Research, Teaching & Extension at NC State
