Fields of Research
My main research interests include basic and applied research related to various analytical
techniques. My main activities may be listed under the following research areas:

Constructing and developing ion-selective electrodes and utilizing them in applications
related to the analysis of inorganic metal ions and organic species.

Studying the behavior and assay of drugs in their commercial products. This extends to
designing analytical methods for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulations and validating
the applicability of theses methods using various instrumental analysis techniques.

Conducting studies related to chemical equilibria and metal ion complexation in solution
using electroanalytical techniques

Testing some open chain (polyalkoxylates) polymers and cyclic polyethers (crown ethers) as
quantitative extractants for metal ions including rare earths and utilizing spectroscopic
techniques for metal ions determination as a means for the assessment of the extraction
efficiency.

