Mohammad Khan Email & Phone Number

I am a MSc Chemistry graduate from the University of Manchester. I have a strong background and expertise in organic synthesis, analytical instrumentation. Research Laboratory experience of 1 year during my Master’s study.I was part of Dr Quayle’s group during my Master’s research. My research concentrated on organic synthesis on a macrocyclic ring, specifically a viable synthetic pathway to an analogue of enterochelin a catechol siderophore. I gained extensive knowledge and have become proficient in synthetic techniques such as distillation, refluxing, column chromatography and recrystallization. I used I carried out various spectroscopic techniques such as NMR, IR, MS and HPLC throughout and gained a deeper understanding of them as a result. I was fully compliant and aware of full safety procedural knowledge including carrying out COSHH and risk assessment on a regular basis.Throughout my research I have gained other skills such as managing my time efficiently and working independently to complete reports and my thesis. I have also gained invaluable communication skills by being part of team meetings and presenting updates on research progression. I have learnt to problem solve and adapt to challenging issues while under tight deadlines. I have honed my report writing skills to convey information in an efficient manner to show my progress of my research to my supervisor. My career interests lie in a role where I can build my knowledge and experience in chemistry especially in organic synthesis and analytical chemistry.
