MARLÈNE HOSSAIN
Nonscientific Interests. Having been trained as a synthetic organic chemist, I can cook almost any cuisine. I then go running with my dog Trudy to keep from becoming spherical. My research program focuses on using both covalent and supramolecular chemistry to interface the man-made and the biological worlds. In our work, we use the atom-by-atom control provided by organic synthesis to engineer nanoparticles and polymers for applications in sensing, delivery, materials, and antimicrobials.

Current Position. Research Chemist at Alphasense Ltd., Cambridge, U’K. Education. B.Sc. (Honors) in Forensic Science, Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, U.K (2012). Nonscientific Interests. Art conservation science, reading, and swimming. The research and development team I am part of has been working on developing electrochemical sensors for monitoring air quality. We have particularly been targeting our efforts on the lower detection range of the main common pollutant gases of interest in air: NO2, O3, CO, SO2, and NO. The differentiation and quantification of cross-interfering gases within a mixture has been a challenge; however, we succeeded in discriminating between NO2 and O3, enabling quantification of both.
