Aman Ullah is an Associate Professor in the Department of Agricultural Food and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Alberta. He obtained his PhD (with distinction) in Chemical Sciences and Technologies from the University of Genoa, Italy working together at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, USA. He has worked in different institutes including Politecnico di Torino Sede di Alessandria (Italy) and the International Centre for Chemical and Biological Science (Karachi) before moving to the University of Alberta. Current research in Aman’s lab is mainly focused on the synthesis of bioproducts/biomaterials from renewable resources for various industrial applications. Aman’s Future Energy Systems research focusses on development of a sorption technology which uses modified / engineered keratin biopolymers from poultry feathers to remove metals and naphthenic acids from oil sands process water. This research with Dr Tariq Siddique was selected as a 2019 finalist for the Alberta Science and Technology Leadership (ASTech) Awards.
Aman has over 75 publications in peer-reviewed journals, book chapters, and conference proceedings and 5 patents / applications (2 patents granted). He has received 15 awards in his career, including the Canadian Rising Star, awarded by Grand Challenges Canada, and the Faculty of Agricultural Life and Environmental Sciences (ALES) Research and Innovation Award.

In this study, composites with magnetic fillers were manufactured using a stereolithography based AM process. Magnetic suspensions developed with an objective of controlling particle settling were characterized for rheological properties. A stereolithography based commercial 3D printer was utilized to fabricate components using the developed magnetic suspensions. Resulting magnetic composite structures were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, a coordinate measuring machine and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Through this research an enhanced understanding of filler modified polymers development, material behaviour and the process for manufacturing magnetic field responsive composites using stereolithography is obtained.T06-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2019-08-01 | | | Future Energy Systems (FES) Resilient Reclaimed Land and Water Systems WorkshopFuture Energy Systems (FES) Resilient Reclaimed Land and Water Systems Workshop, University of Alberta, January 07, 2020. 7-395 Donadeo Innovation Centre for Engineering (ICE). 22 research presentations; 35 participants.T10-P04, T10-P04B, T10-P04E, T10-P04F, T10-P04H, T10-P04I University of Alberta | Activity | 2020-01-07 | Naeth, M., Gamal El-Din, M., Dev Jennings, Chang, S., Boluk, Y., Siddique, T., Adamowicz, V., Ullah, A., Serpe, M., Wilkinson, S., Chelme-Ayala, P., Grant K Hauer, Lingling Yang, Christopher Nzediegwu, Soliu Ganiyu, Shailesh Sable, Zuo Tong How, Muhammad Arslan, Vartuhi Tonoyan, Yihan Zhao, Irum Zahara, Stephanie Chute-Ibsen, Maggie Cascadden, Kylie Heales, Qiuyun Lu, Lingjun Meng, Monsuru Suara, Deborah Crominski da Silva Medeiros, Akeem Olawale Bello, Zhexuan An, Yue Ju, Zhanji Zhang, Huile Gu, Tam, K., Catherine Tays | | Low Cost Bio-Sorbents From Keratin Biopolymers For The Treatment Of Wastewater Produced During Energy GenerationPoster and oral presentation.T10-P04, T10-P04C University of Alberta | Activity | 2019-06-06 | | | Alberta Science and Technology (ASTech) Award Finalists 2019One of three selected as finalists for the Outstanding Achievement in Energy & Environmental Innovation award as part of ASTech Awards.T10-P04, T10-P04C University of Alberta | Award | 2019-09-01 | | | Fuel, Thermal And Surface Properties Of Microwave-Pyrolyzed Biochars Depend On Feedstock Type And Pyrolysis TemperatureT10-P04, T10-P04A University of Alberta | Publication | 2020-10-19 | | | Feather Keratin Derived Sorbents For The Treatment Of Wastewater Produced During Energy Generation ProcessesT10-P04, T10-P04C University of Alberta | Publication | 2020-10-19 | | | Novel Materials From Renewable Resources For Water RemediationT10-P04, T10-P04C University of Alberta | Activity | 2021-03-11 | | | Feather Keratin Derived Sorbents For The Treatment Of Wastewater Produced During Energy Generation ProcessesT10-P04, T10-P04C University of Alberta | Activity | 2020-12-08 | | | Alberta Science and Technology (ASTech) Award For Outstanding Achievement In Energy And Environment 2022T10-P04, T10-P04C University of Alberta | Award | 2022-10-01 | | | Current progress in lipid-based biofuels: Feedstocks and production technologiesJuli Wang, Stacy D.
