Professor Majid Montazer is a full professor at the Amirkabir University of Technology, Iran, and part of the Functional Fibrous Structures & Environmental Enhancement (FFSEE) research group. He obtained BS and MS degrees in Textile Chemistry and Fiber Science from the Textile Engineering Department of Amirkabir University of Technology, and received his PhD degree in 1996, from the Textile Institute at Leeds University, UK. He received the title of one of the best nano researchers of years 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 from the nano organization of Iran, and the best researcher of the year, in 2010, from Amirkabir University of Technology. His research interests include synthesis of nano particles and nanocomposites, and medical, industrial, protective and sport textiles and also natural products.
Dr. Tina Harifi is a researcher and lab instructor at Textile Department of Amirkabir University of Technology, where she is part of the Functional Fibrous Structures & Environmental Enhancement (FFSEE) research group. She was born in 1984 and received her BS, MS and PhD degrees in Textile Chemistry and Fiber Science from the Textile Engineering Department of Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2007, 2009 and 2014, respectively. Her PhD thesis, under the supervision of Prof. Majid Montazer, concerned the synthesis and stabilization of TiO2:Ag:Fe for multi-functional finishing of polyester fabric and was selected as one of the best researches from Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic). She has coauthored 28 papers during the last six years and is now a researcher in Nano-Bio Finishing Laboratory of the Textile Engineering Department of Amirkabir University of Technology. In 2017, she received a DFG (German Research Foundation) grant as a visiting scientist for a three-month research stay in Institut für Technische Chemie, Leibniz University, Hannover, Germany. Recently, she has been awarded for co-participation in a challenge proposed by Inocrowd (Innovation-based R&D management systems), Portugal. Her current research interests mainly include synthesis and deposition of nanoparticles on textile substrates for environmental remediation and energy production.
