Dr Sabri was trained as a chemical engineer and completed his PhD in 2010 at RMIT University. He is a senior lecturer in the Chemical & Environmental Engineering Department at RMIT. His research interests are in the fields of resource recovery and pollution control. He has two book chapters and >120 journal articles including work focusing on mercury measurement & removal as well as Hg mobility studies in industrial processes. Currently, he manages the Nanotechnology and Chemical Sensor group in RMIT University. Over the past 15 years he has worked on several industrial research projects to study mercury speciation and mobility with companies such as ExxonMobil, Alcoa, South32 and Newmont. His work with CSIRO has resulted in development of high capacity, efficient and recyclable nano-sorbents that can be used to selectively remove mercury from natural gas. Dr Sabri has received several awards including the Megan Clark award at the RACI Centenary Congress 2017, and the Vice Chancellor’s Engagement and Impact Award (RMIT, 2023) as well as several other awards.
