Taif-ChemEcoLab is a research initiative based at
Department of Chemistry and Biology, College of Science, Taif University, Saudi Arabia.
In collaboration with Department of Biosciences, University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany.
Our research focuses on:
- 🌿 Chemical Ecology
- 🐜 Insect–Plant Interactions
- 🧪 GC–MS analysis
- 🌱 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- 🔬 Sustainable Pest Management
- 📊 Data-Driven Chemical Analysis
- Aphid VOC Library
- Red Palm Weevil Early Detection via Metabolomics
- GC–MS Data Harmonization Pipelines
- Chemical Signal Biomarker Discovery
We aim to integrate:
- Classical chemical ecology
- Advanced analytical chemistry
- Computational data science
- Machine learning approaches
to develop sustainable and rapid pest detection systems.
