Professional experience
I have worked for MGU since 2006.
Over the years my tasks have shifted from ecotoxicity testing and cell cultures to more new laboratory methods like extraction of micro plastic in water surface samples and identification of polymers with the help of a FTIR Spectrometer.
There is no such thing as ‘away’. When we throw anything away it must go somewhere.<br />
