RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

Member of Surfactant Research Chair. Department of Chemistry / College of Science / King Saud University

Member of Alkaloids and Interphase Research Group no. RGP-VPP-148 Department of Chemistry / College of Science / King Saud University

My work in the research lab deals with synthesis, isolation, purification of organic compounds and surfactants and physico-chemical study on these materials.

Using chromatographic methods: column; thin layer (TLC) and high - performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for purification and separation of organic compounds.

Study of organic chemical reactions and the effect of surface - active substances (Surfactant) upon the reactions in acidic or alkaline aqueous media using UV - VIS Spectrophotometer and well as an estimate some pharmaceutical compounds by kinetic analytical methods.

Studying the effect of surface active substances (Surfactants) upon on steel corrosion

Run and use of various scientific instruments such as:
UV/Vis Spectrophotometer of the type: PERKEN-ELMER-330 ; Lambda-5; 45; 650 and Gilford 2600 ; High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) ; Fluorescence Spectrophotometer ; Deep Centrifuge; Conductivity meter ; Flow injection analysis system .

Teaching Experience

• Assist in the supervision on the students of research and seminar course chem498 & 499 and trained them how to run the reactions and teach them how to make some chemical calculations.
• Help postgraduate students (MSc. & Ph.D.) to use UV - VIS Spectrophotometer and in chemical calculations.

• Teaching the practical part of the General Chemistry course chem101 ; chem 104 and physical chemistry of polymers chem330
• Teaching the courses of practical physical chemistry ( 1 )chem 239 ; physical chemistry ( 1 ) chem337; physical chemistry ( 2 ) chem339 and physical chemistry ( 3) chem439

Training
Participation in the introduction and supervision of the teacher training course held on the sidelines of a seminar teaching chemistry at the stages of public education organized by the Saudi Chemical Society and the Ministry of Education on 22-24 February 1425, corresponding to 12-14 April 2004 at King Saud University in Riyadh.
Participate in the preparation and presentation of the session for chemical safety in the laboratories held by the Saudi Chemical Society in the Faculty of Science, Department of Chemistry during the period from 08/10/1428 until 02/12/1428 H.
