Biographical details:

Dr. Dorian Hanaor received his PhD from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia, in 2012, after being awarded a B.E. with first class honours, and M.Phil in Materials Science and Engineering in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Over the past 15 years, Dorian has worked extensively in various consulting and engineering roles in the private sector, focusing on materials testing, waste transfer, product development and minerals processing. His research areas include silicate ceramics, functional oxides, high frequency dielectrics, additive manufacturing, biomaterials and surface science.

Teaching activities:

Ceramics for the Hydrogen Economy: Cataysts, Membranes, Storage materials and Materials for Fuel cells. 2017 –

Ceramics for the built environment.  2020 – 

Ceramic materials play a central role in facilitating the most valuable applications in our current technological environment. Lithium ion batteries, fuel cells, hydrogen generation, storage and conversion, tissue engineering, catalysis, sensor systems, high frequency communication systems (5G wireless protocols) all tend to rely on ceramics materials for their functionality.  The improvement of energy materials, electronic devices and chemical engineering processes hinges on the development of new ceramics and an improvement of our understanding of these systems.

Current research interests revolve around developing new knowledge pertaining to advanced ceramic materials. Specific research foci include:

·         Polymorphism in pyroxene silicates

·         Millimetre wave dielectric ceramics

·         Crystalline silicate biomaterials

·         Surface structure in ceramics

·         Additive manufacturing

·         Cross scale integration

Mechanical properties of polycrystalline bioceramics

Synthesis of mm wave dielectric silicates

3D printing of ceramic / polymer composites

Role of surface structure on the drying of ceramic tiles
