Tarek Mazeed

Tarek Mazeed's research spans bioengineering and materials science, including the design of protein-based biomaterials (such as self-healing foams and engineered fibers), sustainable bioproduction methods (like bioethanol and enzyme fermentation), and energy-harvesting materials that generate electricity from mechanical motion (triboelectric materials). This work often blends biology-inspired design with practical engineering applications such as oil-water separation, respirators, and sustainable textiles. Prospective students would be exposed to interdisciplinary work connecting microbial and protein engineering with materials fabrication and testing.

Publication output has been modest but fairly steady over the last decade, with a slight increase in activity around 2022-2023 followed by a return to a lower, steady pace.
