Education:
1971-1977: Jacob Roelands Lyceum, Boxtel
1977-1984: Eindhoven University of Technology. Graduated in februari 1984; Department of Organic Chemistry, on an experimental and theoretical study on the occurrence of photochemically initiated sigmatropic rearrangements.
1984-1988: Eindhoven University of Technology, Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, 1988.
Thesis Title: An Experimental and Quantumchemical Study on the Mechanism and Stereochemistry of Photochemical [1,3] Sigmatropic Shifts. The Ph.D. study was directed on the various factors that control the mechanism and the stereochemistry of photochemical [1,3] OH shifts in some newly developed model systems.
1988 - present: National Institute of Public Health and Environmental Protection; Laboratory for Ecotoxicology, Bilthoven, The Netherlands.
Current Research Interests:
1) Implementation of bioavailability of heavy metals in risk assessment procedures. The aim of this research is to develop methodologies for assessing soil specific heavy metal standards. Models are developed and validated that combine chemical insights in the area of metal speciation, with biological insights regarding uptake of metals as influenced by both soil-specific and organism-specific factors.
2) The development and application of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) for the estimation of both physical-chemical properties and transformation rates of chemical substances in the environment, with the aim of using these QSARs in models for ecological risk assessment.
3) Study of biotic and abiotic transformation processes of chemical substances in natural ecosystems: development of methods for extrapolating data obtained in laboratory settings to realistic field conditions.
Additional:
1) Editor of Environmental Chemistry of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry
2) Editor-in-Chief of JSS-Journal of Soils and Sediments
3) Editor of the Bulletin Chemical Society Ethiopia
4) Secretary IUPAC Commission on Soil and Water Chemistry
5) Member of the IUPAC Division on Chemistry and the Environment
6) Member of the board of the Section on Environmental Chemistry of the Dutch Royal
