My Experience in Scientific research
MSCA postdoctoral fellow
💼 Secured €22,000 scholarship as Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow to work as postdoc: "Integrative development of smart drug-vector nanostructures for adaptive delivery to target cells"
💼 Synthesized and analysed organic compounds (fluorinated polyamines) as new anticancer agents, using Schlenk technique, chromatography and NMR spectroscopy in 8 months
💼 Maintain laboratory instruments to ensure +80% proper working order, and Co-supervision of an
exchange engineer student from France on organic synthesis
Mohammed I university, Morocco
💼 Top performing PhD student back then (H-index=9, Number of citations = 264), working on: “Synthesis, biological evaluation and in Silico modelling studies of N-Alkylated hetero-cyclic compounds as multi-target drug candidates.”
💼 Running +150 experiments leading to the synthesis of 36 compounds (Mono, Bis and Tetrakis azole ligands) with a yield up to 98% where 30 are new compounds in the scientific literature (Scifinder)
💼 Predicted the reaction mechanism of N-alkylated heterocyclic compounds firstly prepared by Wiliem L. Driessen in 1982
💼 Worked on different projects in biological activities, antibacterial biofilms, agriculture, Corrosion inhibitors and heavy metal extraction in Morocco, Algeria and France
💼 Published 17 research papers (9 as first author and 8 as co-author) in Q1 and Q2 journal with impact factor up to 6.63 leading to 241 citations
💼 Dissemination of scientific results, taught general chemistry lab course and co-supervision of 4 master students
Research trainee
💼 Secured a intership abroad to work on the synthesis of a molecule not described in the literature (Scifinder): "Diphosphines amino acids derivatives: Synthesis, Catalysis and bio-organometallic"
💼 Synthesized diphosphines amino acids following Schlenk technique (Huisgen cycloaddition mechanism reaction)
💼 Purifed the resulting products using Column chromatography and Celite filtration, then analyze using spectroscopy techniques (eg. NMR)
💼 Conducted research project resulting in 75% increase in efficiency in 3 months.
Research assistant
💼 Synthesized 4 four new N-C linked pyrazole ligands with a yield up to 96%
💼 Prepared excellent inhibitors of Mild steel corrosion in HCl (1M) with efficiency up to 92.4% proved by experimental techniques and DFT calculations ran on a local workstation
💼 Published 3 research papers cited 23 times, leading to urge other master students to publish
💼 Increased research accuracy by 33% in 6 months, leading to improved efficiency and cost savings.
