About
Samara Bin Salem is an emerging analytical and environmental chemist whose research sits at the intersection of wastewater-based epidemiology, green chemistry, and advanced mass spectrometry. Her work focuses on developing innovative, sustainable, and high-throughput analytical methods for detecting a broad range of environmental contaminants — including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), illicit drugs, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), and steroids and hormones — in wastewater matrices. Bin Salem's most notable contributions involve pioneering automated sample preparation workflows, most prominently leveraging the Biomek i7 Workstation and robotic solid-phase extraction systems coupled with cutting-edge LC-MS/MS and APGC-MS/MS platforms. Her 2024 introduction of the Small Volume Ethyl Acetate Liquid-Liquid Extraction (SVEA-LLE) method for PAH analysis garnered 9 citations in its first year, reflecting swift community uptake. Her subsequent 2025 publications collectively advancing green automation for simultaneously monitoring 123 illicit drugs, 69 PPCPs, and 27 steroids in wastewater underscore her commitment to sustainability and analytical practicality. With a growing citation record and a clear trajectory toward next-generation environmental surveillance, Bin Salem represents a forward-thinking voice in making wastewater monitoring faster, greener, and more operationally scalable for public health applications.
