Natural Products & Essential Oils Expert | GC-MS, Metabolomics, Scientific Editing and Research Consulting

Profile Summary

PhD Chemist specializing in phytochemistry, natural products, essential oils, metabolomics, and bioactive plant compounds. My expertise includes the extraction, chemical characterization, and biological evaluation of plant-derived secondary metabolites using advanced analytical techniques such as GC-MS, GC-FID, GC-O, and LC-QTOF-MS. I have authored multiple peer-reviewed research articles, reviews, and book chapters in internationally recognized journals and currently serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of Essential Oil Bearing Plants (Taylor & Francis, IF 1.8). I have also reviewed manuscripts for leading journals published by Springer Nature, Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, and Sage. My research experience spans phytochemical profiling, metabolomics, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic studies, molecular docking, and scientific data interpretation. I provide consulting services in scientific writing, manuscript editing, peer review, literature reviews, publication support, analytical data interpretation, statistical analysis, natural products research, and essential oil characterization for academic, industrial, and R&D clients worldwide.
