Supervisors

Prof. Dr. Stefan Voorspoels_ is team leader of the analytical team and project manager of several research projects in the field of chemical analysis and method development, human exposure, chemical and material characterization. He is also visiting professor "Analytical Chemistry" at the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at Ghent University. He is specialized in organic analytical chemistry and chromatography.
Dr. Milica Velimirovic _is environmental scientist working research agenda on an interdisciplinary approach to explain how the smallest fraction of plastic debris and other emerging environmental substances are behaving in the environment and how the choice of method/combination of methods depends on the research question being asked.
Dr. Kristof Tirez _works as a researcher and project leader in the inorganic analytical department of Vito. His main experience and research interests are situated in the quantitative determination and speciation of elements in a variety of matrices. Besides, he acts as a science policy bridge person and analytical expert for different Flemish agencies dealing with environmental regulatory monitoring.

Target start date

Fellowship description

Context and research challenge:
The characterisation of micro
The goal of this project is to further extend the so-far developed nano characterisation platform and open new frontiers in the characterisation of tyre nano
- and micro scale particles released during the abrasion of tyres. The achievement of these goals requires a multidisciplinary and complementary approach including analytical chemistry, instrumental methods, and nanometrology.

Approach:
Method development will be performed on existing instrumentation available at GOAL. This includes mass spectrometry-based instrumentation, i.e.

single particle ICP-MS and DART-MS on the one hand and field flow fractionation-UV/VIS-multi angle light scattering on the other hand.
