I am an environmental analytical chemist and ecotoxicologist with >30 years’ experience, and >120 publications (in international journals and books). I’ve spent >25 years in academia, studying, lecturing and undertaking research, and 5 years in industry and environmental regulation. I hold a broad range of interdisciplinary research interests, but focus on (i) the fate and behaviour of pollutants, especially classic and emerging contaminants (metals/metalloids and pharmaceuticals), (ii) ecotoxicology (pathways/uptake/effects, particularly with respect to birds and mammals) and (iii) analytical chemistry (new applications, method development and novel techniques).
