My background bridges environmental engineering, analytical chemistry, and public policy. Before academia, I spent five years shaping EU and national environmental policy, which grounds my scientific work in practical realities. I now contribute to international collaborations, mentor MSc thesis students, and lead a Villum-funded project on micropollutant fate. My long-term goal is to support evidence-based environmental solutions by integrating science, policy, and cross-sectoral expertise.

My research centers on advanced analytical chemistry, particularly LC-MS/MS method development and application for trace-level analysis in complex environmental matrices. I use these tools to study organic micropollutants, with a focus on their fate, transformation, and removal. By generating empirical data, I aim to improve our understanding of micropollutant behavior and support evidence-based, risk-informed approaches to water management in line with evolving regulatory frameworks.

I supervise MSc thesis students in analytical chemistry and environmental science, supporting their development through hands-on research and scientific writing. I serve as an external examiner and have delivered guest lectures at other institutions. Before joining AU, I lectured and co-led a talent track program for Laboratory Technician students, guiding several of them through BSc thesis projects that resulted in their co-authorship of peer-reviewed publications.

I collaborate on international research projects focused on sustainable water management and micropollutant control. I currently serve as a Work Package Leader in NEUTRAL4GS – Innovating with Nature for Sustainable Water Management in the Global South, a Marie Curie Staff Exchange project. My past collaborations include Wetsus, UNESCO-IHE, and Agilent Technologies, spanning both academic and applied research settings.

I help coordinate laboratory activities within the department, including the maintenance of mass spectrometric instrumentation. I contribute to strategic project planning, support interdisciplinary research coordination, facilitate knowledge exchange among team members, and write research grant applications.
