Alberto Celma
I am a researcher in Organic Environmental Chemistry focused on the development of new analytical tools for the monitoring of organic micropollutants in the aquatic environment using state-of-the-art high resolution mass spectrometry instruments.

Presentation

For the last years, my research has been focused on the development and implementation of new tools such effect-directed analysis or ion mobility separation coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry with a particular focus on aquatic environment application.

Research

My current project aims to investigate the impact that stormwater can have in natural waterbodies as well as apotential income for drinking water production. My research focuses then on assessing the fate of organic micropollutants and their associated toxicity in stormwater samples.
