About
Dr Tariq Nazir is a Vice Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellow at RMIT University, Australia and recently won the Australian Research Council (ARC) Early Career Industry Fellow for his project (IE240100221) “Flame Retardant Coating: Preventing Pole Top Fires in Electricity Networks”. He has been a Fulbright Scholar at the Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS), Florida State University (FSU), Tallahassee, FL, USA. In 2023, in a report by Stanford University and Elsevier, he was listed as a top 2% highly cited scientist for his 2022 impact. He is also currently serving as an associate editor of the journal “High Voltage.” He is a professional engineer member (MIEAust) of Engineers Australia and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), Advance HE, UK. Additionally, he is a member of the IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation (DEIS) Society and serves as the IEEE DEIS Young Professionals Representative for Australia and New Zealand. His research interests include high voltage generation, measurement, testing, high voltage insulation, fire retardant materials, composites & hybrid materials, dielectric materials, electrical insulation, HTS cables and dielectric design for cryogenic and superconducting applications.
