Muhammad Abu Bakar Siddique

I'm Muhammad Abu Bakar Siddique from Pakistan, and I'm a M.Phil. Chemistry student at the University of Agriculture Faisalabad in Punjab, Pakistan. My research interests include "nanotechnology, metal oxides, catalytic, photocatalytic, and electrolytic dye degradation, wastewater treatment, antimicrobial activity, and the dopant effect of metallic catalysts such as Mg, Mn, Ca, and Al." Such materials are now being researched for use in photocatalytic wastewater treatment and electrocatalysis. In my research project, I synthesised (Enhancing catalytic and antibacterial activity with size-controlled yttrium and graphene quantum dots doped MgO nanostructures: A molecular docking analysis) photocatalytic dye degradation for wastewater remediation and investigated its antibacterial activity.

In addition to research, I’m also very passionate about astronomy because it helps us approach the big questions. Astronomy is a fundamental science that assists us in comprehending the universe and answering fundamental questions regarding our existence. It also provides opportunities for transferrable skills and personal growth, making it a fun and rewarding endeavor. According to Carl Sagan, "we are a way for the cosmos to know itself."
