Neelam Mughal

My background is in sustainable chemistry and my PhD research investigated the use of inorganic nanomaterials supported on functional carbons as composite electrode materials for Li-ion batteries.

I also organised the first Women in Chemistry Conference at the University of Nottingham in 2019 and am now part of the Gender Inclusivity Network at Innovate UK Business Connect. As Knowledge Transfer Manager for Advanced Materials, my role is to provide technical capability and expertise in the field of Advanced Materials, with a particular focus on topics in the field of materials sustainability, materials for demanding environments and for energy generation and storage.

I am currently supporting the delivery of the ISCF Innovate UK Transforming Foundation Industries Challenge, the Commercialising Metamaterials Innovation Network, and the Materials for Earth and Space project (as part of the European Space Agency’s Business in Space Growth Network).
