معرفی
Dr. Ali Siamaki is a faculty member at Fayetteville State University in the Department of Chemistry, Physics & Materials Science. His research focuses on heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, metal nanoparticles synthesis, and their application in cross-coupling reactions under microwave and continuous flow conditions.
- M.S., University of Calgary, Canada
- Ph.D., McGill University, Canada
His research group explores three core areas: preparation of solid-supported metal nanoparticles, their catalytic evaluation in C-C reactions (Suzuki, Heck, Sonogashira), and microwave/flow reaction applications. Students gain expertise in SEM, TEM, FT-IR, and XRD techniques. He teaches courses in organic chemistry, polymer science, and general chemistry.
Recent work includes highly cited studies on graphene-supported Pd/Fe3O4 nanoparticles and nickel-palladium bimetallic catalysts for Sonogashira reactions. His team actively presents at conferences like ACS Meetings and Emerging Researcher National Conference in STEM.
