Academic Qualifications Research Discipline: Chemistry Research Themes Areas of Expertise Selected Research Projects Honors and Awards
Dr Emad Kiriakous was awarded his PhD degree in Chemistry from Cairo University 15 years ago. Since then he built a strong research profile in the areas of analytical chemistry, Raman spectroscopy and nanosesnors. In 2004, Dr Kiriakous left his position as a post doctoral research associate at QUT to take up a position as a forensic chemist at QLD health, Forensic & scientific services. Dr Kiriakous returned to QUT as a lecturer in forensic sciences with responsibility to structure and coordinate the forensic sciences curricula.
Dr Emad Kiriakous has generated a significant number of high quality publications and has, to date, been involved in the supervision of thirteen HDR students in the fields of analytical chemistry, nanosensors and Raman spectroscopy. Two of these students have completed PhD degrees and four MAppSc by research degrees.
