MS student, Ms. Sahiba Farid, has been successful in publishing her findings of modeling the real world absorption spectra in the “Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering” (impact factor = 7.968).

Computational Chemistry Group (CCG) of the Department of Chemistry is actively engaged in innovative research and students are continuously publishing their work in leading journals in small span of time. Recently, our MS Student Miss Sahiba Fareed has carried out the theoretical modeling of the absorption spectra of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their derivatives in two Chinese industrial sites: Qingcheng district (site A) and Longtang town of Qingyuan (site B). These data are corrected for “Real-world” experimental concentrations of PAHs over these cities. For the first time, nocturnal/diurnal and seasonal variations of PAHs are being simultaneously studied under a theoretical framework. Moreover, the most relevant PAHs for climate forcing in both Chinese regions have been identified by our theoretical modeling approach. Her work entitled “Modeling the nocturnal/diurnal and seasonal real world absorption spectra of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives in two Chinese polluted cities” has been successfully published in a prestigious journal “Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering” with an impact factor of 7.968.
