Brief Curriculum Vitae

The central theme of ICJ work is geochemistry off reduced sulphur species, RSS, especially as observed by electrochemical methods. Within this theme she conducted a remarkable variety of specific studies. She has
developed analytical methods for RSS, determined distributions RSS in natural waters, studied the effect of RSS on trace elements, on natural organic matter and investigated the effect of RSS on aquatic ecosystem.
RSS are very important in eutrophic coastal waters. The increase in coastal "dead zones" worldwide, owing to eutrophication makes ICJ work very important. In the last several years she has conducted several research studies on electrochemistry of metal–sulfide species including chalcogenide and metal bearing nanoparticles. Currently she is working on using electrochemical methods for air quality monitoring.

Areas of Research

water environmental chemistry; biogeochemical processes related to S and C cycling in water environment between different environmental compartments (water,air,sediment,biota)
