Adrian Covaci (PhD, male) is professor of environmental toxicology and chemistry at the UAntwerpen. His expertise focusses primarily on the development and validation of analytical methods for the determination of a broad range of legacy and emerging organic contaminants in environmental, food, and human samples. The principal aim of his research is related to the exposome framework, and in particular the characterization of human exposure to organic contaminants and the assessment of the potential toxic and adverse effects on humans resulting from such exposures. AC has published 750+ articles in peer-reviewed journals (WoS H-index: 100, https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/staff/adrian-covaci/publications/) and is the leader of the Exposome Centre of Excellence at the UAntwerpen.
“MobiliTraIN is a well-timed project in which we can apply our experience in the use of ion mobility and high-resolution mass spectrometry for the identification of novel organic contaminants in the indoor environment and humans. At the same time, we are very excited to partner with prestigious academic institutes and with all relevant vendors of ion mobility technology, which will boost the range of applications and will lead to new research ideas for all involved partners. We are convinced that this will bring recognition to the ion mobility.”
