Nouha Bakaraki Turan

Nouha BAKARAKI TURAN is currently working at the Nitrosamine center of excellence at Novartis one of the biggest pharmaceuticals companies in the World. She did her post-doctoral research for 3 successive years in the Environmental Engineering Department and Analytical Chemistry Department of Yildiz Technical University, Turkey. She worked on a project that aims to detect microplastics abundance in the Marmara sea. She performed many studies on the determination of micropollutants in wastewater using different analytical methods. Besides, she worked on wastewater treatment using the advanced oxidation process and other biological processes such as the membrane bioreactor system. Additionally, she is a member of the "Bakirdere research group" which is one of the most active research groups in Turkey. Her Ph.D. was on quorum quenching mediated approaches to mitigate membrane fouling problems. She studied her B.S. in Health and Environment from the Lebanese University (Tripoli – Lebanon). During her B.S. she got experienced in chemical and microbiological quality analysis of water. In 2010, she received her MSc in Hydrology from the Lebanese University (Al Hadath – Lebanon). She did her MSc research study in the CNRS laboratory of Poitiers, France. Dr. Nouha believes highly in women's power in academic and scientific life. She aims to be an example status to all women around the world and especially in the middle east countries where women are usually highly restricted. She had an interesting journey to share with the youngest generation giving them hope, motivation and insistence.
