Early life and education
Hussain was born and raised in a remote village Mauza Sadhana, Ahmedpur Sial, of Jhang, Pakistan. He received his early education from Samandoana and Ahmed Pur Sial, District Jhang. Then he moved to Multan and obtained F.Sc. and B.Sc. degree from Government Emerson College Bosan Road Multan. He received his MSc degree in chemistry from Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad in 1993, and afterwards worked in the groups of Atta-ur-Rahman and Muhammad Iqbal Choudhary at Hussain Ebrahim Jamal Research Institute of Chemistry, University of Karachi. He joined NIBGE, Faisalabad, in 1997 and during his service at NIBGE, completed PhD (Chemistry) in 2005 from the University of Liverpool, UK, under the supervision of Andrew Ian Cooper and Mathias Brust.[7][8][9]
Career
Hussain joined National Institute for Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering, Faisalabad, in 1997 as a Scientific Officer and was promoted to Senior Scientific Officer in 2001.[9] He was the Founding Project Director of a ~US$2.5 Million project to initiate Nanobiotechnology research during 2005–2008. In Feb. 2008, he joined the Chemistry Department at SBA School of Science & Engineering, Lahore University of Management Sciences and led the Chemistry department as chair from 2010 to December 31, 2016.[2] While on sabbatical leave in 2017, Hussain served as a Professor of Renewable Energy Systems at US-Pakistan Center for Advanced Studies in Energy, University of Engineering & Technology, Peshawar, and as a Foreign Professor (Oct. 25 - Nov. 24, 2017) at the School of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.
Research
The focus of Hussain's research group is on the synthesis of customized metal/metal oxide nanoparticles/nanoclusters for applications in diverse fields including biomedical sciences, energy technologies, environment and catalysis.[10] He has established his research mark by developing reproducible methods for the synthesis of fairly uniform metal nanoparticles/nanoclusters with controlled size, shape and surface chemistry and using them as building blocks to develop new nanostructured materials with unique chemical and physical properties for applications in biomedical sciences, renewable energy technologies, environment & catalysis.[11] He has published over 80 research articles in prominent journals including Nature Materials, Science Advances, Angewandte Chemie - Int.
