The nanotechnology research group was established in 2016 and Dr. Rasoul Moradi is running the group since that time for more than six years. The research group is formed of researchers and students of Khazar University with scientific contributions of international scholars. Currently, the group has the research focus on the following main scopes:

1. Multi-Functional Nanomaterials (synthesis, characterization and applications)
2. Molecular Dynamics investigation of materials in nanospace
3. Computational Fluid Flow study
4. Bio-sensing tools and Drug Delivery Systems
5. Nano-enabled Water and Energy Systems

The group consists of individuals as advisory board and students. Advisory board members are distinguished international researchers and professors. Student members are undergraduate and graduate students from Khazar University and other local and foreign institutes.

Director:

• Dr. Rasoul Moradi (Khazar University, Azerbaijan)

Advisory Board:

• Prof. Pirouz Kaveh Pour (UCLA, USA)
• Dr. Esmail Doustkhah (Koch University, Turkey)
• Dr. Farida Tatardar (Khazar University, Azerbaijan)

Current Members:
