Short biography:
Prof. Thomas Ternes graduated with an undergraduate degree in Chemistry from the University of Mainz (Germany) in 1989. In 1993, he completed his Ph.D. at the University of Mainz in Analytical Chemistry. In January 2001, he completed his habilitation and became an official lecturer at the University of Mainz. Since May 2003, he has been at the Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG) in Koblenz, Germany, where he recently became the head of the division of qualitative hydrology, and he is a lecturer at University of Koblenz-Landau. Since 1995, his research has focused on the analysis and the fate of organic pollutants, such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products, in various kinds of the aquatic environment. The identification of transformation products and the elucidation of transformation pathways is one of his research areas. Furthermore, he is dealing with the removal of emerging contaminants and their transformation products in wastewater and drinking water treatment and soil aquifer treatment.
