Introducing our new Associate Editor: Parastoo Hashemi

We are very pleased to welcome Professor Parastoo Hashemi to the RSC Advances team as an Associate Editor today.

 

Parastoo (Parry) Hashemi RSC AdvancesParastoo (Parry) Hashemi received her MSci degree in Chemistry from King’s College, London. She performed her PhD with Martyn Boutelle in the Department of Bioengineering in Imperial College, London where she developed online biosensing technology to measure brain metabolites from human traumatic brain injury patients. She performed her post doctoral with Mark Wightman at UNC Chapel Hill. Here she developed fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) at carbon-fiber microelectrodes (CFMs) to measure serotonin in vivo using FSCV. She currently runs two research labs in the Department of Chemistry at the University of South Carolina and in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College, London. The focus of her research is to develop diagnostic tools and novel treatments for mental illnesses.

Parry has also recently guest-edited a themed collection on analytical science in neurochemistry for Analyst with Jean-Francois Masson and Martyn G. Boutelle. You can browse the full collection here.
