Holding a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Lorraine, France, he brings over seven years of academic experience including administrative leadership roles.
His educational credentials include:
- B.Sc. in Biochemistry from the Lebanese University
- M.Sc. in Catalysis, Molecules, and Green Chemistry from the University of Rennes I, France
- Ph.D. in Chemistry (Interdisciplinary of Electrochemistry, Material Science, and Microbiology) from the University of Lorraine, France
Dr. Ghach's research integrates chemistry and public health through multidisciplinary projects focused on material-based bioelectrocatalysis systems and community-based participatory research. His specialization areas feature:
- Sol-gel Bioencapsulation
- Bioelectrochemical systems
- Bioelectrocatalysis
- Dry Eye Disease Epidemiology and Risk factors
- Chemical Awareness and Safety
His 12 publications (2020-2024) demonstrate strong thematic concentration on COVID-19-related public health challenges (hand hygiene, disinfectant safety), dry eye disease epidemiology across four Middle Eastern countries, and pesticide safety interventions in Lebanon. Methodologically, his work predominantly employs cross-sectional and community-based approaches with regional focus.
No scientific awards are documented in the provided materials.
Administratively, Dr. Ghach has served as faculty member for 7+ years, discipline coordinator and module leader for 3 years, and head of research committees (including Institutional Review Board) plus research department leadership for 1 year. His active research portfolio includes eight major projects spanning disinfectant safety during pandemics, dry eye disease studies across Lebanon/Syria/Jordan/Palestine, chemical intolerance research, and bioelectrocatalysis applications.
He maintains collaborative networks with local and international researchers through community-engaged projects addressing public health, environmental health, and chemical safety challenges in the Middle East.
