Biography
Antonia Praetorius is an Assistant Professor in environmental chemistry at the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED) at the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands). Previously she worked as a Researcher at Stockholm University (Sweden) and as a Postdoc at the University of Vienna (Austria). She obtained her PhD in 九州影院 from ETH Zurich (Switzerland).
Her research interests centre around assessing the environmental fate of emerging chemical contaminants using a combination of models, experiments and citizen science.
Antonia is particularly interested in understanding how the fundamental physical and chemical properties of a contaminant drive its transformation and transport behaviour in aquatic and terrestrial environments, and how this understanding can be utilised to build models for predicting contaminant exposure or to design effective mitigation strategies. She has strong expertise in particulate contaminants, such as engineered nanomaterials, nano- and microplastics and microfibers. Antonia very much enjoys working in interdisciplinary teams to tackle the complex challenges posed by anthropogenic contaminants.
