Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf | Germany
Mr. Hanibal Othman is a dedicated Ph.D. candidate in Inorganic Chemistry whose research bridges materials science and luminescent chemistry. His doctoral studies, conducted under the supervision of Prof. Dr. C. Janiak at the ACI Nanoporous and Nanoscaled Materials Group, focus on the synthesis, structural characterization, and photophysical properties of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) and luminescent porous materials. He earned his Master of Science in Chemistry from Heinrich-Heine Universität Düsseldorf, Germany, and his Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Al-Baath University, Syria. Mr. Othman’s research expertise spans gas adsorption, BET surface area analysis, and phosphorescence spectroscopy, employing advanced instrumentation such as QUANTACHROME Autosorb-iQ-MP and FLS-1000 spectrofluorometers. He has contributed to interdisciplinary studies on room-temperature phosphorescence and adsorption phenomena, authoring manuscripts across diverse chemical domains. As a mentor and laboratory supervisor, he has guided both undergraduate and graduate students, fostering a culture of scientific excellence and collaboration. His additional training in Good Scientific and Manufacturing Practices strengthens his commitment to research integrity and quality standards. Recognized for his precision, innovation, and leadership in materials chemistry, Mr. Othman continues to advance functional material design for next-generation luminescent and adsorption-based applications.
