Dr. Farooq obtained his Master degree in Fine Chemistry (2007) from Université de Bretagne Occidentale (France) and Ph. D (2012) from Université de Neuchâtel (Switzerland). He was trained in the field of advanced synthesis, organometallics and nano catalysis by renowned Swiss-German Professor Georg Süss-Fink at Institute of Chemistry, Neuchâtel. He also spent some time (2009) at University of Zürich to learn XRD techniques from Professor Hans-Beat Bürgi. In 2013, he had professional training from Québec in the art of transforming laboratory research into entrepreneurship. Later, he joined Professor Justin Jiang’s laboratory (Lakehead University, Canada) for his postdoctoral research (February 2015 until October 2017), and also worked (2015-2017) as collaborative researcher with Professor Marina Ulanova at Northern Ontario School of Medicine (Canada). Dr. Farooq speaks both French and English languages fluently. His interests include the advanced organic synthesis and nano catalysis. More details abouthis work can be found at www.farooq.info
