报告人简介：Prof. Vera Slaveykova

    Prof. Vera Slaveykova is an environmental chemist with more than 20-year experience in trace element chemical speciation, bioavailability and impact to aquatic microorganisms. Presently she is a Full Professor in Environmental Biogeochemistry and Ecotoxicology, at the Department for Environmental and Aquatic Sciences and the Institute for Environmental Sciences at the University of Geneva, and a Vice president of the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences. Between July 2011 and July 2017 She has served as a director of Department for Environmental and Aquatic Sciences. Previous positions she held include Lecturer at the University of Geneva, Professor Fellow of SNF at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL).

At present her research interests include: (i) Speciation and bioavailability inorganic contaminants, such as mercury, and (nano)particles in aquatic systems; (ii) Molecular ecotoxicology and effect of contaminants and nanoparticles on physiology, metabolome and transcriptome of aquatic microorganisms. Biomarkers; (iii) In-situ determination of the impact of contamination by lab-on-a-chip. Biosensors; (iv) Population and community ecotoxicology and biodiversity in aquatic systems. Bioindicators.
