About
Sevda Manap is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Kafkas University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences. She holds a Ph.D. (2017), M.Sc. (2009), and B.Sc. (2007) in Chemistry from Kafkas University. Her research focuses on Organic Chemistry, Spectroscopy, and Theoretical Chemistry, with an emphasis on synthesizing biologically active triazole derivatives.
Research Interests: Dr. Manap designs novel heterocyclic compounds (e.g., Schiff bases, Mannich bases) and evaluates their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Her work integrates experimental synthesis with computational modeling (DFT, molecular dynamics) to study structure-activity relationships.
Publication Trends: Her 51 articles primarily explore triazole-based syntheses, structure elucidation via spectroscopy, and bioactivity assessments. Recent work emphasizes computational drug design (ADME prediction, molecular docking) for neurodegenerative and oncological applications.
Advising & Grants: She has supervised 2 M.Sc. students and contributed to 6 research projects, including:
- Triazole Mannich base synthesis and bioactivity studies (2018–2020)
- Antioxidant/antimicrobial evaluation of furan-carbonyl triazole derivatives (2018–2021)
Collaborations: Works extensively with researchers at Kafkas University and international institutions on multidisciplinary projects involving synthetic chemistry, biochemistry, and computational modeling.
