New NMR methods for complex mixture analysis

Biography
I graduated with BSc.(Hons) of Pharmacy from Faculty of Pharmacy, Tanta University, Egypt (2016). Then I worked as a teaching assistant at the Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry Department and I had a M.Sc degree of Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry (2020), thesis title: "Development of Analytical Methods for Determination of Drugs with Surface Activity and Measurement of Critical Micelle Concentration”.
During the master's study I learnt the development and validation of analytical methods for pharmaceutical analysis, and running experiments using UV/VIS, fluorescence spectrometers and flow injection analysis using HPLC instruments. After that I worked as an assistant lecturer in the same department for a year (2021).
I am eager to learn different analytical techniques, therefore I moved to Manchester to be a PhD student in NMR with the NMR Methodology group at the University of Manchester, under the supervision of Prof. Mathias Nilsson and Prof. Gareth Morris.
