As a Master’s Thesis Researcher at UFZ – Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, in collaboration with the Institute of Water Chemistry at TU Dresden, I investigated the redox-differentiated microbial transformation of Persistent and Mobile Organic Compounds (PMOCs) in laboratory-scale bank filtration systems. My work involved operating and monitoring redox-differentiated sediment column experiments under oxic and anoxic conditions, investigating contaminant transformation pathways, and quantifying PMO

As a Student Research Assistant (HiWi) at the Department of Molecular Environmental Biotechnology, UFZ – Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, I conducted experimental studies investigating the redox-dependent microbial transformation of Persistent and Mobile Organic Compounds (PMOCs) using lab-scale water treatment systems. My responsibilities included sample collection and processing for LC-MS/MS analysis, focusing on the quantification of target contaminants, detection of transformation products,

During my research internship at the Institute of Water Chemistry, TU Dresden, I investigated the biodegradability of Persistent and Mobile Organic Compounds (PMOCs) in surface water. My work involved performing OECD 301F (OxiTop) biodegradation tests, preparing stock solutions, calculating inoculum and test concentrations, and ensuring quality control. I applied QSAR models to assess predictive toxicology and metabolite behavior, while also classifying substances under PMT/vPvM criteria. In addition, I ga
