Associate Professor Dr. Mazidatulakmam Binti Miskam is an academic and researcher in Analytical Chemistry at the School of Chemical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM). She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Malaya, along with B.Sc. (Hons) and M.Sc. degrees from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Her academic career began as an Assistant Professor at the International Islamic University Malaysia before joining USM, where she currently serves as a lecturer and Programme Chair for both the Bachelor of Applied Science in Analytical Chemistry with Honours and Pre-university (Chemistry) programmes. Dr. Mazidatulakmam’s research focuses on separation sciences, particularly advanced sample preparation and microextraction techniques. Her work includes the development of magnetic graphene oxide-based adsorbents, molecularly imprinted polymers, and deep eutectic solvent systems for environmental and food analysis. She is actively involved in studying emerging pollutants and their environmental impacts. She has led multiple funded research projects as principal investigator and has established strong industry collaborations through consultancy work. An experienced supervisor, she has successfully guided numerous postgraduate students at both Ph.D. and master’s levels. Dr. Mazidatulakmam has an extensive publication record in reputable scientific journals, contributing significantly to advancements in analytical and environmental chemistry.

Research

Research Interest

I am broadly interested in separation chemistry with particular emphasis on the development of online preconcentration techniques for capillary electrophoresis, microextraction and synthesise of new sorbent materials for environmental pollutants, food conatminants and pharmaceutical analysis. In particular, my research interests are shaped by the emerging trend towards sustainability of environments and food safety. My research agenda focuses on the question of how to increase the sensitivity and efficiency of the detection of trace elements in environments and foods.



Research Topics

Materials synthesis for adsorption, sample preparation techniques for environment and food analysis and separation sciences.
