Ahmad El Hellani Email & Phone Number

I am an organic/analytical chemist by training (Ph.D. 2012, Paris). For five years, I worked on designing carbon-centered ligands for transition metal complexes. Later on, I had a career shift towards environmental health sciences, focusing so far on tobacco regulatory science.Currently, my research focuses on the assessment of tobacco products and tobacco emissions. I study tobacco emissions in a controlled analytical lab setting using smoking machines, in a clinical lab setting using real-time sampling devices, and in a chamber lab setting to assess secondhand emissions. My work is the first line of toxicity assessment of tobacco product emissions that may inform in vitro, in vivo (animal models), and biomarker of exposure and biomarker of potential harm studies. My work is interdisciplinary by nature, and benefits from collaboration with colleagues with a broad range of backgrounds in environmental sciences, toxicology, engineering, psychology, behavioral science, epidemiology, and medicine.

Listed skills include Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Organic Synthesis, Spectroscopy, and 12 others.
