My research experience mainly focus on the following activities:

  1. Synthesis of different organic, inorganic, and organometallic in general, and explosive and nitro-compounds in particular as well as functional linear and cyclic polymers.
  2. Using different analytical techniques such as Gas Chromatographic techniques to analyse TNT, C4, C3, Nitro-halobenzene for quantitative and qualitative analyses as well as Ammonium Nitrates
  3. Experience in NMR techniques using vibrational and NMR spectroscopies and HPLC technique to as diagnostic techniques for explosives (TNT, C4, C3, Nitro-halobenzene);
  4. Experience in mass spectroscopic techniques in general for qualitative determination of different compounds.
  5. Studying the role of Zeolite as a catalyst in the synthesis of nitro-organic compounds.
