Dr. Jahan is an assistant professor in the chemistry program at Southern University A&M college (SUBR) since Fall 2020. Her current research interest is agricultural food wastes containing valuable bioactive carbon compounds to avoid environmental problems. These carbons-based compounds have shown potential multifunctional applications regarding enhancement of electrochemical, thermal and mechanical properties. Prior to this position, Dr. Jahan was a postdoctoral researcher in the physics program and adjunct professor in the chemistry department at Southern University. Her postdoctoral research at SUBR focused on the synthesis and characterization of nitrogen functionalized carbon nanotubes & graphene compounds towards their green applications in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) (2016-2020). She also conducted her postdoctoral research at the National Institute for Material Sciences (NIMS) in Japan from 2013-2016. During that time, she investigated the research on the synthesis and application of manganese oxide nanomaterials regarding ORR and OER. She obtained her PhD from Chemistry Department at National University of Singapore (NUS) with A grade. Her PhD thesis focused on the usage of Functionalized Graphene Compounds and their potential energy applications mostly for fuel cells, ORR and OER purposes. Dr. Jahan nominated as the best PhD thesis award at National University of Singapore in 2013. She received NUSIIN full scholarship from NUS from 2019 to 2013. Dr. Jahan’s works have been published in many peer-reviewed journals which include the Journal of the American Chemical Society, Angewandte Chemie, Journal of Materials Chemistry, and Energy Technology. In addition to her published work, Dr. Jahan has been invited for talks/presentations for her research as well. In Spring and Fall 2021 and 2022 semesters, Dr. Jahan was an invited speaker at the Virtual Congress on Materials Science and Engineering for 5 different presentations. Currently, she is a Co PI on the NSF project entitled, “CREST Center for Next Generation”. This project supports the enhancement of research capabilities of minority-serving institutions through the establishment of centers that effectively integrate education and research with other faculty members. She encourages and supports her outstanding STEM undergraduate students to continue their education. Also, Dr. Jahan received a green chemistry award from Dow company as a PI in 2021 for three years. Her aim is to enhance the perspective of SUBR students towards green energy. Her research based on multifunctional composite materials will provide excellent educational and research training opportunities to traditionally underrepresented minority (URM) students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines
