My name is Ghuzanfar Saeed and I have completed my Ph.D. degree in Nanotechnology and Materials Engineering in February-2020 from Jeonbuk National University, Republic of Korea. The title of my Ph.D. thesis was "Design and fabrication of transition-metal-based multicomponent nanoarchitectures for energy storage devices". I would like to give a brief introduction about my Ph.D. research background, I focused on the development of multi-component hybrid and core/shell nanomaterials for all-solid-state flexible/non-flexible asymmetric supercapacitor devices.
Currently, I am a post-doc fellow at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Pusan National University, Republic of Korea and working on the development of MOFs/MXene derived anode/cathode materials for energy storage devices (Li-ion batteries/supercapacitors).
