Biography
Dr. Aziz did his Phd from Saskatchewan & been a Post doctoral Fellow in Toronto before starting his career in UPEI. During his career at UPEI he served at various posts like Editor, Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials; Honorary Editor, Advanced Materials letters; Editorial Board, Materials Sciences and Applications; Editorial Board, Royal Society for Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry Series and several others.
Research Interest
Dr. Abd-El-Aziz' work includes development of new synthetic methodologies for organic and organometallic polymers; electrochemical studies of organometallic oligomeric and polymeric materials; and the investigation of structural variations on the thermal properties of polymers. He is interested in the role of different metals in changing the reactivities of substituted benzenes toward nucleophilic aromatic substitution and addition reactions, and the degradation of organic contaminants.
