Rate My Professor Ahmad Tabish

Tabish’s research focuses on the synthesis of porous materials, including novel pathways for mesoporous silica-based nanomaterials applied in heterogeneous catalysis, fine chemical synthesis such as isopropylation of naphthalene, carbon dioxide capture and conversion, perovskites for energy applications, corrosion engineering, and coatings. Supervised by Professor Ajayan Vinu, GICAN Director, his contributions advance nanomaterials for energy, environmental remediation, and health sectors. Key publications include “The Isopropylation of Naphthalene over H-MCM22 (MWW): The Formation of Triisopropylnaphthalenes” (Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 2023), “The isopropylation of naphthalene over ordered mesoporous aluminosilicate AlSBA-1: The formation of diisopropylnaphthalene and triisopropylnaphthalene isomers” (2023), “Perovskites in the Energy Grid and CO₂ Conversion: Current Context and Future Directions” (Catalysts, 2020), and “Corrosion Behaviour of Biofuel” (2018). He has been honored with the Distinguished Talent Visa under Australia’s Global Talent Independent Program (2020, one of the youngest recipients), and the AusIMM Education Endowment Fund Postgraduate Research Scholarship (2021).
