Über Autor(innen)

Fiona Regan is founder and Director of the DCU Water Institute and is Full professor in Chemistry at the School of Chemical Sciences in Dublin City University. Fiona’s research focuses on analytical chemistry in the field of environmental monitoring and she has special interest in priority and emerging chemicals as well as the establishment of decision support tools for environmental monitoring using novel technologies and data management tools. Her work includes the areas of separations and sensors (including microfluidics, Lab-on-a-disc), materials for sensing and antifouling applications on aquatic deployed systems. Fiona was coordinator of SmartBay Ireland (2010–2016), she is an associate editor with Royal Society of Chemistry’s Analytical Methods, a member of the Water4All Scientific and Technological Board, a Chair of the Royal Irish Academy (RIA) Climate Change and Environment committee and Scientific Advisor to AquaWatch, Australia.
