Research

Published research I’ve contributed to, written up properly — the full data, the methods, the numbers that didn’t work, and a plain-language route in for readers who aren’t specialists.

Everything here starts from one paper: Design and evaluation of triple-doped nano-hydroxyapatite (Mg/Si/Zn-HAp) as multi-step intelligent scaffold for bone healing, published in Hybrid Advances 13 (2026), doi:10.1016/j.hybadv.2026.100657. It was built by 26 researchers across 11 faculties and 2 universities in Syria — medicine, pharmacy, chemistry, biotechnology, environmental, mechanical and mechatronics engineering, nursing and agriculture. The material is a hydroxyapatite that senses the acidity of an inflamed wound and releases more of its antibacterial zinc in response.

I’m a mechatronics engineer, not a chemist. My colleagues in pharmacy and chemistry did the synthesis and the assays; my interest is in what the material looks like when you read it as a control system, and in how you actually manufacture one. That’s the angle these write-ups take.

Where to start. If you want the human story of how the team was built, read the announcement. If you want to understand how the material works, read the closed-loop breakdown. If you want methods and numbers, go straight to the technical data sheet. Arabic versions of all four pages are listed below.
