Invited Speakers

Plenary Speakers

	David Sedlak (University of California, USA)
		Professor Sedlak's research interests are related to the fate of wastewater-derived chemical contaminants in conventional and advanced wastewater treatment plants, fate of steroid hormones in the aquatic environment, chemical fate during groundwater recharge and in engineered treatment wetlands, metal speciation in soil and water.
		"Optimizing the removal of trace organic contaminants in managed natural treatment systems"
	Joan O. Grimalt (IDAEA-CSIC, Spain)
		Dr. Grimalt is developing his scientific studies within the field of Environmental Organic Geochemistry. This discipline involves the study of organic compounds in the geosphere, both natural and pollutants, with the aim of achieving information on the basic processes for ecosystem functioning, evolution and anthropogenic disturbances. This wide topic allows the study of a large diversity of subjects: marine and terrestrial systems, ancient and recent environments, deleterious effects on ecosystems, animal and human populations, environmental and climatic change.
		"Biomarker tools for abrupt climate change description in marine sediment cores"
	Urs Baltensperger (Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland)
		Urs Baltensperger is the head of the Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry at PSI, and professor at ETH Zürich. His research focuses on the formation and transformation of aerosols as well as the study of their impact including the new particle formation, secondary organic aerosol formation, source apportionment of atmospheric aerosol, radiative properties of aerosols and their impact on climate, as well as aerosol cloud interaction at the Jungfraujoch among others.
		"Sources, processes and impact of atmospheric aerosols"
	Damià Barceló (ICRA Girona and IDAEA-CSIC Barcelona, Spain)
		Ph.D. in Analytic Chemistry from University of Barcelona. Research Professor at the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Studies (IDAEA) of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Director at the Catalan Institute of Water Research (ICRA). His researcher career has been focused on the area of Water Quality, particularly in the development of methods for controlling organic pollution by the so-called “emerging pollutants” in waste and natural water.
		"Toward a better understanding of the fate, behaviour and risk of  fullerenes  and other carbon-based nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes in the total environment"
