🧪 Call for abstracts: Umwelt 2026 conference organized by @setac-glb.bsky.social + @gdch.de Fachgruppe Umweltchemie und Ökotoxikologie Submit your abstract until 31 May 2026 More information www.setac-glb.de/umwelt-2026 My special interest this year: soil pollutants and mining-related contamination

I’ve enjoyed #SETACMaastricht with great keynotes, talks, and posters and meeting with old and new friends and colleagues! I presented results from our ClayHOC project, highlighting that also clay minerals can be relevant adsorbents of neutral hydrophobic pollutants – as shown by HCB and bentonites.

Great start of the #MMSoilSci Symposium with a Keynote by Edgar Galicia Andrés on the Impact of Computer Simulations in #SoilScience followed by talks from Hessam Yazdani, Hannah Pollak, Milan Předota, and Sébastien Le Crom. #MolecularModeling @bokuvienna.bsky.social www.cecam.org/workshop-det...

International Symposium 2025 Molecular modeling in soil science – achievements and perspectives #MMSoilSci

Looking forward to three days of the International Symposium 2025 on Molecular modeling in soil science – achievements and perspectives #MMSoilSci hosted at @bokuvienna.bsky.social www.cecam.org/workshop-det...

Mit dem Plenarvortrag von Peter Fantke "Linking Chemical Pollution to Technology Life Cycles, Biodiversity, and Planetary Boundaries" startete gestern die #Umwelt2025. Wir freuen uns auf spannende Vorträge & Austausch in den nächsten beiden Tagen am Umweltbundesamt. www.setac-glb.de/umwelt-2025

✔ SAVE THE DATE 📅🧪 The joint annual conference 'Umwelt 2025' by SETAC GLB and the Division of Environ. Chem. & Ecotox. of the @gdch.bsky.social will take place this year from 22–24 Sept at the @umweltbundesamt.bsky.social in Dessau-Roßlau. Initial information here: www.setac-glb.de/umwelt-2025

We will be organizing a workshop on modeling of soil components at the Austrian node of @cecamevents.bsky.social in September. Check out the workshop details, and join us in beautiful Vienna @bokuvienna.bsky.social #compchem 🧪 www.cecam.org/workshop-det...

IPCP has analyzed the priority-setting procedures of IPCC and IPBES. The analysis has resulted in the identification of strengths and limitations, and based on this we provide recommendations for the priority-setting procedure of the new SPP. www.ipcp.ch/activities/p...

My current work is on "Clay minerals as sorbents for Hydrophobic Organic Chemicals (ClayHOC)" at Justus Liebig University Giessen (Germany) in cooperation with colleagues from BOKU Vienna (Austria). Further details: gepris.dfg.de/gepris/proje... Funding by DFG and FWF is highly acknowledged.

Some other keywords related to my work are: environment, soil, water, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), clay minerals, organic matter, ecotoxicology.

I have a preference for environmental analysis and the miniaturization of experimental approaches and analytical methods. In particular: solid-phase microextraction, SPME.

I am a soil and environmental scientist with an interdisciplinary focus on environmental pollutant fate. Research focus: adsorption, bioavailability/bioaccumulation, and catalytic elimination of anthropogenic contaminants.
