Professional employment history
| 1997 - 2000 | Laboratory technician analytical chemistry at TNO – Voeding, Zeist, the Netherlands. Method development for determination of antibiotics in meat with LC-MS techniques and bacteria tests systems. |
| 2000 - 2010 | Laboratory technician environmental analytical chemistry at the Institute for Environmental Studies, the Netherlands. Method development and determination of environmental pollutions (e.g. hormones, PAK, PCB, fatty acid, phenols, organotin) in matrixes (e.g. sediment, biota and water) with different extraction techniques (e.g. SPE, L/L extraction, ASE) and detection methods (e.g. GS-MS, LC-MS, LC-UV). |
| 2010 - present | PhD at the Institute for Environmental Studies, the Netherlands. Topic: Indentification of the most relevant (phototoxic) contaminants in water and sediments in the Dutch Delta that influence primary producers, and to gain insight in seasonal dynamics of the chemical speciation in the coastal zone. |
