About
Dr. Naheed Nasim holds a PhD in Applied Chemistry with expertise in chromatography and the separation and analysis of heavy metal ions, phenols and aromatic amines. Her research has focused on developing advanced chromatographic systems to study analyte mobility, speciation and matrix interactions, with applications relevant to health sciences, including toxic metal exposure, environmental contributors to disease and public health monitoring.
At MCPHS, Dr. Nasim teaches Chemical Principles I in the School of Professional Studies, where she supports adult learners in achieving their academic and professional goals.
Research Interests
- Development and optimization of TLC and HPTLC methods for rapid, selective, and cost-effective analysis of environmental pollutants
- Chromatographic separation and speciation of metal ions, including heavy metals and environmentally significant inorganic species
- Soil thin layer chromatography to study pollutant mobility, transport, retention, and soil–analyte interactions
- Analysis of organic contaminants such as pesticides, phenols, and aromatic amines in complex environmental matrices
- Environmental monitoring and pollution control through validated chromatographic methodologies
- Application of chromatography to environmental radiochemistry, radionuclide behavior, and nuclear forensic materials
- Expansion into hyphenated techniques (HPTLC-MS, LC-MS, HPLC, GC-MS) for advanced environmental and biomedical analysis
- Method development and quantitative analysis for analytically challenging, real-world samples
