Biography
Abuzar Kabir is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Florida International University (FIU), Miami, Florida, USA. His research interest primarily focusses on synthesis and applications of novel sol-gel derived advanced material systems (chromatographic stationary phases, surface coatings of high-efficiency microextraction sorbents, nanoparticles, microporous and mesoporous functionalized sorbents) for analyzing polar, medium polar, nonpolar, ionic analytes, heavy metals and organometallic pollutants from biological/pharmaceutical/clinical/environmental sample matrices. He is an ardent advocate of Green Analytical Chemistry (GAC). His recent inventions, fabric phase sorptive extraction (FPSE), dynamic fabric phase sorptive extraction (DFPSE), Capsule Phase Microextraction (CPME), substrate-free liquid chromatographic stationary phases and extraction sorbents, organic polymeric liquid chromatographic stationary phases and extraction sorbents and universal molecular imprinting technology have drawn tremendous interests among the researchers. He has published more than 50 peer-reviewed journal articles, 9 book chapters and 90 conference proceedings. Dr. Kabir has invented numerous chromatographic stationary phases and sample preparation technologies, resulting in 15 US patents.
