Within this position I'm responsible for the analysis of:° monohydroxylated metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OH-PAHs) in human urine° metabolites of phthalates and compound di-iso-nonyl cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate (DINCH) in human urine° metabolites of phthalates and compound di-iso-nonyl cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylate (DINCH) in human breast milk° phthalate metabolites in human hair° residues of veterinary drugs in soiland I've successfully developed and validated very sensitive analytical methods for the determination of the above-mentioned compounds in biological and abiotic samples. This position taught me that method development is not an easy task whether you are implementing a new method on an analytical instrument or you preparing the sample for the analysis. Show less

Sep 2015 - Present
In this position, I supervise Bachelor and Master students. Mostly, I'm helping them with their work in the laboratory, with measurement on analytical instruments (spectrophotometer, LC-UV, LC-FLD, UHPLC-MS/MS) and correcting and revising their papers and presentations. I would say that this position taught me to interact with students on a high scientific level and seeing their successful finish is very rewarding.
