Person

I studied Chemistry with a special focus on Analytical Chemistry at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Afterwards, I was seeking knowledge on alternative methods to assess pollution in the environment. Therefore, I enrolled for the ecotoxicology Masters program at the University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany. I completed my first internship at Mitox field operations, France, where I worked on risk assessment of pesticides on soil invertebrate communities. This rapidly developed my interest in terrestrial ecotoxicology. Currently, I am completing my Master’s thesis at VU University, Amsterdam, Netherlands. My project is focused on the influence of soil organic matter on the toxicity of neoniconioids to soil organisms

Current Studies

Influence of organic matter on the toxicity of imidacloprid to the springtail Folsomia candida
