The Department of Chemistry & Earth Sciences at the College of Arts & Sciences, Qatar University (QU), recently hosted Undergraduate Research Presentations for students, as well as an honouring ceremony for Qatar University American Chemical Society (QUACS) Student Chapter for their participation in events and community services.
Prof Yousef Hijji supervised three students on synthesis of Schiff base as chemical sensors for detection of zinc and cyanide in environmental samples. Heba Hassan synthesised and characterised amino sugar Schiff base as zinc fluorescent chemical sensor whereas Razen al Qudah synthesised and characterised amino sugar salicylidene as cyanide chemical sensor. Mahmoud Khatib worked on synthesis and characterisation of imines as anion chemical sensors.
Four students supervised by Dr Marwa Elazazy presented their work on recycling of waste from various sources as efficient and novel adsorbents for removal of dyes from Wastewater. Sarra Dimassi worked on bio-waste Aloe Vera leaves as an efficient adsorbent for Titan Yellow Dye from Wastewaters whereas Bayan Yousef worked on recycling of green tea waste into a novel adsorbent for Methylene Blue from Wastewaters.
Aya Ashraf presented her work on Eco-structured Biosorptive Removal of Basic Fuschin using Pistachio Nutshells and Nuri Akhter presented her work on Watermelon Rinds as cost-efficient Green Adsorbents for Water Purification.
Two students supervised by Prof Mohammad Mahroof-Tahir presented their work related to the synthesis and characterisation of metal complexes with potential antidiabetic and anticancer properties. Roqaya al Kurbi synthesised and characterised complexes with vanadium metal with antidiabetic properties whereas Tahani Alahmad worked on the complexes of titanium metal with anticancer properties.
The session ended with a brief presentation by Elkhansa Elbasheir and Zeineb Thiehmed on the accomplishments by QUACS Student Chapter which is supervised by Faculty Advisor Prof Siham al Qaradawi.
Prof Hijji commented, “The Department of Chemistry and Earth Sciences is committed to providing high-quality research that contributes to the economy, national security and is well aligned with Qatar National Vision 2030. Through the research undertaken, students’ develop data-analysis, effective communication and critical thinking skills.” He added that the Department has maintained the quality of Research Projects offered to meet internationally-competitive standards.
Prof Yousef stated that the Research offered by the faculty is an outcome of their hard work and perseverance.
