Research areas
My expertise is the detection and characterization of nanosized particles in food, food contact materials and biological matrices. This analytical knowledge is, e.g., essential in the context of food labelling, risk assessment and the development of novel foods. Further, I am experienced in the analysis of toxic and essential trace elements in food and other matrices.
Research interests
Analytical chemistry, food chemistry, material science, food, food contact materials, metals, minerals, nanoparticles, nanoplastics, ICP-MS, single particle ICP-MS, field flow fractionation, multi angle and dynamic light scattering, electron microscopy
