Personal Introduction
Saeed is from Pakistan and completed both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Chemistry. He has over five years of research experience in nanomaterials and polymer nanocomposites and is deeply interested in the design and development of advanced functional materials to address sustainability-related challenges in microrobotics and microfluidics. He is motivated by research that connects fundamental science with real-world impact.
He is currently a Junior Research Fellow at the Wigner Research Centre for Physics and a PhD student at Hevesy György PhD School of Chemistry in Budapest, Hungary, where he continues to grow as a researcher.
Outside the lab, Saeed is interested in sports, social gatherings, and meaningful conversations. He enjoys connecting with people from diverse backgrounds and believes that curiosity, collaboration, and balance are key to both good science and a fulfilling life.
Project Introduction
This project focuses on the electrodeposition of ternary Fe–Zn–Mn alloys for use in microrobotic platforms. Electrodeposition is a scalable and energy-efficient fabrication technique that allows precise control over composition, structure, and thickness at the micro-scale. The Fe–Zn–Mn alloy system is of particular interest due to its magnetic functionality, mechanical stability, and potential biocompatibility, making it suitable for microrobotic actuation and control.
Aligned with the GREENS sustainability goals, the project emphasizes the use of abundant and less critical materials, reduced material waste, and low-energy processing. The developed alloys aim to support the creation of high-precision, sustainable microrobotic systems for future biomedical and environmental applications.
