Acadymic Researches:

In my research, I have focused on the development and application of electrochemical methods for the determination of various compounds in pharmaceutical formulations and environmental samples. One of my studies involved the potentiometric determination of oxybutynin hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulations using modified carbon paste electrodes, which was published in the Indian Journal of Chemistry in 2020 (Indian Journal of Chemistry. 59: 324-332, 2020). Another research endeavor explored the electrochemical performance of screen-printed sensors for the potentiometric determination of anticholinergic oxybutynin hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluids, as documented in the Egypt.J.Chem, 63(5): 1999 – 2009, 2020. Additionally, I have contributed to the development of modified carbon paste ion-selective electrodes for the determination of Cr(III) ions in aqueous solutions and real samples using tetragonal zirconia nanoparticles, as published in RSC Advances in 2023 (RSC Advances, 13, 11201, 2023). Furthermore, my research has extended to the fabrication and characterization of mullite nano-ceramic materials for use in carbon paste ion-selective electrodes to estimate carcinogenic Cd(II) ions in real and human samples, which was published in the Microchemical Journal in 2023 (Microchemical Journal 190 (2023) 108623). These studies represent my commitment to advancing the field of analytical chemistry through innovative research and the application of novel methodologies. 🧪📚
