Research Focus
Djalila Boudemagh’s research primarily focuses on material synthesis and characterization for health and environmental applications. Her work involves the development of nanomaterials, including hydroxyapatite nanoparticles and chitosan/hydroxyapatite composites, as well as the extraction and evaluation of bioactive molecules from plant sources like pomegranate peel. She investigates the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties of these extracts. Additionally, her research extends to the crystallization of materials with thermoelectric properties, such as the Mg2Si1-xSnx system. Boudemagh employs advanced techniques like LC-MS/MS for phytochemical analysis and collaborates extensively across interdisciplinary fields.
