General research interests:

• Method Development
• Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography (RP-LC) and Gas Chromatography (GC)

• High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS)
• Environmental Chemistry (monitoring of priority pollutants and emerging contaminats in environmental samples)
• Suspect and non-target (HRMS) screening of emerging pollutants

Projects:

• 2016-2017: EMBLAS II, EU/UNDP Project: Improving environmental monitoring in the Black Sea. Analysis of water framework priority substances and screening of black sea specific pollutants in water, biota and sediment samples obtained during the National Pilot Monitoring Studies and Joint Open Sea Surveys and risk assessment of identified pollutants.
