His primary research goals are multidisciplinary with the main emphasis on Environmental, Analytical, Organic and Water Chemistry. His specific research includes water treatment, water quality, development of anti-cancer and chiral drugs, pharmaceutical and xenobiotics analysis by chromatography and capillary electrophoresis.
He is the pioneer to highlight the importance of the chirality concept in the pollutants i.e. study of the chiral pollutants.
Prof. Ali is a forerunner and leading researcher in India in the area of chiral separations by chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. He is also a leading researcher in the world in chiral pollutants.
