Philippe Quevauviller has been working as a researcher in marine geochemistry during the years 1983-1989, in particular in the framework of cooperation programmes among the University of Bordeaux (France) and the Portuguese Environment State Secretary (1984-1986), as well as with the Dutch Ministry of Public Works and Water Ways, Rijkswaterstaat (1988-1989). He obtained a PhD in oceanography in 1987 and a PhD in chemistry in 1990, both at the University of Bordeaux. In 1999, he got a HDR degree (Habilitation à diriger la recherche) at the University of Pau (France). He has published more than 220 papers in the international literature and several books linked to environmental quality measurements.
He has joined the Research General-Directorate of the European Commission in 1989 where he has been scientific officer from 1989 until 2002 on topics dealing with the quality control of environmental analysis (interlaboratory studies and reference materials). Since 2002, he has integrated the Water & Marine Unit of the EC Environment Directorate-General where is now responsible for the development and implementation of the new EU Groundwater Directive which complements the existing water policy framework (in particular the Water Framework Directive), as well as for other WFD implementation issues (e.g. chemical monitoring). He is also maintaining close contacts with the scientific community through co-ordination activities aiming to integrate scientific findings into policy development.
On a separate note, he is professor at the K.U.Leuven where he teaches in an International Master programme on Water Resources Engineering (IUPWARE). | | Areas of interest: | | quality assurance and control | | chemical monitoring | | water policies | | environmental standards | | pollution control and remediation | | river basin management planning | | |
