Husna is an expert on emerging and existing renewable energy technologies with a focus on photovoltaics. She is an advocate for electrification and decarbonization via a diverse set of energy infrastructure solutions working in tandem. She completed her doctorate with the Sargent Lab at the University of Toronto in 2024 where she explored new materials for optoelectronic applications such as LEDs and solar cells, primarily using metal-halide perovskites. Husna led the optoelectronics thrust within the Alliance for AI-Assisted Accelerated Materials Discovery, using a combination of automation and computation to accelerate traditional experimental fabrication and characterization methods. During this time, Husna collaborated and advised on material solutions ranging from colloidal quantum dots, piezoelectrics, electro-optical modulators and catalysts for CO₂ conversion into value products. Prior to this, Husna was a design engineer and project manager at Bright Power, Inc., an energy efficiency startup. Husna spent four years designing and overseeing the construction of solar, storage and cogeneration distributed energy projects for low income housing in New York City. Husna graduated magna cum laude with high honors in Physics from Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts where she completed her undergraduate honors thesis on planar device architectures for organic photovoltaics. Husna is also a strong proponent of embedding inclusivity and equity into professional and academic spaces, founding both the Food Recovery Network MHC chapter as an undergraduate, and the Sargent DEI initiative for research spaces as a graduate student.
