Hadi Khani is a Research Assistant Professor in the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering and a core faculty member of the Materials Science and Engineering Program (MSE) at The University of Texas at Austin since spring 2021. Before joining UT Austin as a faculty member, he had been a Research Associate at UT Austin (2018-2020) and a Postdoctoral Fellow at Notre Dame University (2017). Khani received his Ph.D. in Chemistry with a minor degree in Statistics at Mississippi State University in 2017, a master’s degree in Analytical Chemistry from Kharazmi University in 2009, and a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Arak University in 2007. Prior to his Ph.D., Khani had 2 years of industrial experience in the Research Development Center for Chemical Industries, ACECR (2009-2011).

Khani has conducted research on broadly interdisciplinary projects across an extensive breadth of materials science and engineering, including electrochemical energy storage, electrochemical sensors, electrocatalysis, electroplating, scanning electrochemical microscopy, material/polymer science, chemical extraction/separation, and chemometrics. The current research focus of Dr. Khani’s group lies in the design and synthesis of polymer and inorganic materials for use in rechargeable batteries, fast ion-conducting solid-state/gel electrolytes, electrocatalysts, and supercapacitors.
