Welcome to my digital research space. I'm Dr. Shahadat Hussain, an Associate Research Scientist in the Division of Engineering at New York University Abu Dhabi, specializing in TPMS metamaterials, additive manufacturing, and advanced materials characterization.
With over four years of hands-on experience in fabricating, testing, and analyzing additively manufactured structures—especially NiTi shape memory alloys and TPMS lattices—I bridge the gap between innovative design and real-world engineering applications.
Here, you’ll find my latest projects, publications, and insights into the evolving field of smart materials and additive manufacturing.
