Vadoud Niri

Vadoud Niri is an Associate Professor in the Chemistry Department at SUNY Oswego. His research focuses on developing analytical methods for environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical analysis, food safety, and plant emission studies using advanced techniques like SPME, NTD, GC-MS, and HPLC. He has presented at major conferences including the American Chemical Society National Meetings and regional ACS events.

• Education:
• Post-doctoral fellow at University of North Dakota (2009-2010)
• Post-doctoral fellow at University of Waterloo (2004-2008)
• Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from University of Tabriz

His research interests include pollutant monitoring in air/water/soil, drug analysis in pharmaceuticals, toxin detection in food, and volatile organic compound analysis in urban environments. Techniques emphasize solvent-free sampling and advanced spectroscopic instrumentation. He has actively contributed to local environmental studies, such as assessing heavy metal contamination in Oswego farmland soils and VOCs in city drinking water.

His conference presentations highlight interdisciplinary applications of analytical chemistry in public health, environmental sustainability, and consumer product safety. Ongoing work includes evaluating indoor plant efficacy for VOC removal and advancing e-cigarette toxicity analysis.
