Teaching & Experiential Learning
As a lecturer and researcher, I maximise the unique attributes of Bader College (e.g., class size) in providing stronger connections between the lectures and experiments conducted at the laboratory. I use educative class activities, assignments, and group works in enhancing the achievement of my intended learning outcomes for CHEM 112 (General Chemistry).
The students are also presented with experiential learning opportunities in the Fall and Winter Terms to gain hands-on experience that would aid their preparation for the different fields of chemistry as well as their chosen career path. I provide an inclusive learning environment and generally encourage students to pursue academic excellence.
Research
My research stems from the integration of Food, Environmental, and Analytical Chemistry. Currently, five themes are of special interest to me:
- Environmental Health and Safety, Food Safety and Control, Human Health Risk Assessment, Hyphenated Techniques and Metabolomics and Foodomics.
Supervision
I’m interested in supervising projects on the safety of food and environmental samples using different analytical equipment (such as the: UV-Vis spectrophotometer, FTIR, AAS, ICPOES, ICPMS, GC×GC-TOF-MS, GC-HR-TOF-MS, TD-GC-TOF-MS, HPLC, LCMS/MS, SEM, NMR, among others). Essentially, I focus on the analysis of the following in different matrices:
- Heavy metals (and some other trace elements)
- Mycotoxins
- Organic contaminants (PAHs, PCBs, PBDEs, PCDFs, PCDDs, etc.)
- Other endocrine-disrupting chemicals and microplastics (e.g., BPA)
- Pesticide, herbicide, and other chemical residues
- Toxic secondary plant metabolites
- Volatile organic compounds
