2012 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Oxygen

Organic chemistry, Catalysis, Cellulose, Inorganic chemistry and Rhenium are his primary areas of study. Many of his studies on Catalysis apply to Ether as well. His work carried out in the field of Cellulose brings together such families of science as Heat of combustion, Starch and Maltose.

His research integrates issues of Hydrodeoxygenation, Peroxide and Polymer chemistry in his study of Inorganic chemistry. The various areas that Mahdi M. Abu-Omar examines in his Rhenium study include Tryptophan, Electron transport chain, Stereochemistry and Medicinal chemistry. The Medicinal chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Photochemistry, Silyl ether, Hydrosilylation and Phosphine.

His most cited work include:

  • Reaction mechanisms of mononuclear non-heme iron oxygenases. (403 citations)
  • Advances in 5-hydroxymethylfurfural production from biomass in biphasic solvents (318 citations)
  • Conversion of carbohydrates and lignocellulosic biomass into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural using AlCl3·6H2O catalyst in a biphasic solvent system (242 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Catalysis, Organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Photochemistry and Inorganic chemistry. His Catalysis study combines topics in areas such as Yield, Rhenium, Polymer chemistry and Solvent. His study in Lignin, Furfural, Hydrodeoxygenation, Cellulose and Selectivity is carried out as part of his studies in Organic chemistry.

His Medicinal chemistry research includes themes of Chlorite dismutase, Platinum, Stereochemistry, Corrole and Nucleophile. His Photochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Reaction rate constant, Manganese, Ligand and Acetonitrile. The study incorporates disciplines such as Perchlorate and Heterogeneous catalysis in addition to Inorganic chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Catalysis (43.81%)
  • Organic chemistry (30.09%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (20.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Catalysis (43.81%)
  • Lignin (11.06%)
  • Medicinal chemistry (20.35%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Mahdi M. Abu-Omar mostly deals with Catalysis, Lignin, Medicinal chemistry, Organic chemistry and Epoxy. Mahdi M. Abu-Omar studies Catalysis, focusing on Heterogeneous catalysis in particular. His Lignin research integrates issues from Cellulose and Raw material.

His Medicinal chemistry research includes themes of Platinum, Oxidative addition, Ligand, Selectivity and Reductive elimination. His Epoxy research focuses on Thermosetting polymer and how it relates to Curing, Epoxide, Polymer chemistry, Chloride and Bio based. He interconnects Inorganic chemistry, Perrhenate, Rhenium and Nanoparticle in the investigation of issues within Hydrogen.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Degradation Rates of Plastics in the Environment (103 citations)
  • Overcoming cellulose recalcitrance in woody biomass for the lignin-first biorefinery. (39 citations)
  • Guidelines for performing lignin-first biorefining (25 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Oxygen

His primary areas of study are Lignin, Organic chemistry, Epoxy, Raw material and Combinatorial chemistry. His work is dedicated to discovering how Lignin, Cellulose are connected with Enzymatic hydrolysis, Crystallinity, Thermogravimetric analysis, Fiber and Nuclear chemistry and other disciplines. His study in Hydrogenolysis and Catalysis is done as part of Organic chemistry.

The Syringol research he does as part of his general Catalysis study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Endothermic process, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His research investigates the link between Epoxy and topics such as Thermosetting polymer that cross with problems in Magazine, Epoxide, Phenyl acetate and Polymer chemistry. His work on Biorefining as part of general Raw material research is frequently linked to Context, Biochemical engineering and Lead, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
