Prof. Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern

University of Bath

Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern is a Professor in Environmental and Analytical Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Bath and a co-director of Water and Innovation Research Centre.

Her principal research interests fall into the three interrelated research areas of environmental, analytical and water sciences.  She has major contributions to understanding chemical speciation of emerging and legacy pollutants in the environment, and in developing and evaluating new (not necessarily technology driven) solutions aimed at reducing environmental pollution levels.

Her recent interests are related to environmental pollution and public health. Barbara is currently focusing on the development of early warning systems for environmental and public health assessment via water fingerprinting and wastewater-based epidemiology.

She is also exploring the phenomenon of stereochemistry (especially enantiomerism) in the context of environmental fate and effects of emerging and legacy pollutants.
