Profile

I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Florida in 2004 with a bachelors of science in chemical engineering.

I completed my Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley in 2010, using small-angle scattering to measure the thermodynamics of block copolymer blends.

I procured a Junior Research Fellowship at Imperial College London (2011–2014) to pursue the development of block copolymer–based plastic solar cells and my website on polymer science, Ali's Random Walk, was launched in 2015.

I was appointed as lecturer in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Auckland from 2016–2018, during which time I co-founded Maemar Ltd., a start-up company developing technology to support medical professionals.

The department appointed me to a lectureship in 2019, where I will pursue research into applied polymer physics.

Research interests

Applied polymer physics:

  • Organic electronics for alternative energy generation and storage
  • Polymer photocatalysts for wastewater remediation
  • Biopolymer-based food packaging
  • Nanostructured plastic films for drug and flavour delivery
  • Printable sensors for food quality
  • Supercritical processing of nanomaterials
  • Enhanced plastics recycling
