Research investigations · 11 years, 2015–2026
My first research project in 2015 examined the optical response of curcumin to cyanide. Later work took me into zebrafish vascular imaging, polymer surface modification, mechanically injured lung cells and inhalable drug carriers. I had to change methods each time, but one question grew more demanding: which observation would actually test the explanation? The investigations below include experiments that succeeded, procedures that failed and the work I carried out with collaborators.
Molecular design
Chemical synthesis and sensing taught me to ask what a molecular response establishes, and what it does not. The archive includes imine chemistry, optical probe investigations, and routes that did not yield the anticipated heterocycle.
Early experimental work on curcumin as a colorimetric and fluorimetric cyanide probe, later published in Analytical Methods (2019). My contribution to this study was experimental; I do not claim its formal analysis or manuscript drafting.

Mechanistic questions in biological systems require different evidence from chemical characterization. These investigations concern developing cranial vessels, flow-dependent responses, and cultured epithelial-cell injury.
Zebrafish cardiovascular development, imaging, and the interpretation of flow-dependent vascular phenotypes.

Polymeric materials and modified surfaces connect synthesis and processing to biological or environmental performance. Preparation conditions and measurement context matter as much as the chosen material.
Separate studies of PLA-film adhesion and scaffold antimicrobial activity, with published methods, measurement boundaries and transparent individual roles.
Materials dossier ↗Research relating polymer interfaces, scaffold fabrication and treatment to intended biomedical functions.
Grant and project context ↗In this PAH–diblock-copolymer project I contributed to the research proposal and performed Flory–Huggins interaction-parameter calculations to inform theoretical micelle-core compatibility and polymer selection, alongside the project’s experimental research context.
Project archive and my role ↗Experimental preparation, microscopy, spectroscopy, surface modification and the limits of what each method resolves.

The ongoing MSc investigation considers dexamethasone-loaded niosomes and proniosomes for inhalation. Particle measurements and aerosol performance address different questions; formulation intent is not proof of effective drug delivery.
Ongoing formulation work, physicochemical measurements, nebulization and aerosol deposition questions.
Ongoing research dossier ↗Future research direction in renal therapeutics: how kidney transport physiology and disease-specific cellular states govern delivery of small molecules, RNA and targeted carriers. Explore acute tubular injury, renal fibrosis, polycystic disease, glomerular pathology and human kidney-on-chip experiments.
Renal therapeutics and delivery ↗A proposed research programme connecting therapeutic target selection, delivery routes and biological-state-dependent response.
Research agenda ↗ · Two testable doctoral concepts ↗A short film asking what happens to an inhalable vesicle formulation during aerosol generation.

Computational work belongs next to its validation data, not ahead of it. Relevant projects include biomedical image analysis, fetal echocardiography and exploratory tools for formulation design.
Biomedical image-processing research, published computational work, and methods for transparent scientific analysis.
Computing portfolio ↗ · Docking, MD, QSAR & ADMET methods ↗Research-project work on the QATAVI registry: variable definition, longitudinal clinical data organization, database quality control, outcomes analysis and project reporting at Qatar University Biomedical Research Center. This was project participation, not work on a publication.
Project methods and workflow ↗From sample preparation and image acquisition to measurements that can be interpreted and reproduced.
Imaging archive ↗Experimental and published figures, with original context rather than isolated decorative imagery.
