Research interests

  • Speciation and analysis of toxic environmental pollutants in water, air, food, and body tissue and physiological fluids.
  • Air pollution (e.g., loading rates, and health hazards of PM, metals, metalloids, and gaseous pollutants).
  • Fate and analysis of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in the environment and physiological fluids.
  • Development of analytical methods for the determination of toxic chemicals in environmental and biological matrices using HPLC-ICP-MS, ICP-MS, AAS, LC-MS, GC-MS, and atomic spectrometry.
  • Extraction and identification of bioactive compounds in medicinal plants.
  • Developing organic-based chemosensors for hazardous chemicals.
  • Assessing the impact of toxic environmental pollutants and elemental imbalance on Autistic subjects.
  • Developing chemical chelators for the treatment of secondary iron overload in Thalassemic subjects.
  • Remediation of contaminated sites.
  • Forensic analyses.
  • Nanoparticles and impact on the human health.
