Research

My main interest is the development of analytical methods for the analysis of stable isotopes in order to improve the understanding of the lifecycle of chemicals in the environment. My research focuses on online stable isotope analysis using e.g. elemental analyzer (EA), gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to conversion units and mass detectors, such as isotope-rato mass spectrometer (IRMS) and multi-collector ion coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICPMS). For more information on my expertise and technical facilities please consult the LSI website .
