Profile
Dr. Imrana I. Kabir is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, UNSW Sydney. She is actively involved in research in novel materials and designs aimed at developing new approaches to the thermomechanical response fire conditions. Her current research foci are on flame-retardant, eco-composite, green, biodegradable, recyclable, and/or transformable materials. In addition to her B.E. and Ph.D. academic experience, she also has over 5 years of industrial experience spanning research, applications, and project engineering roles as well and project management responsibility. In this latter capacity, she completed a year-long, comprehensive, corporate, professional development program in the USA and Canada.
