Bio
Dr. André Rosa is an Associate Professor of Environmental Chemistry at the Department of Environmental Engineering at Universidade Estadual Paulista-Unesp, Sorocaba / Brazil. He received his PhD Graduate from the Institute of Chemistry - Unesp in a sandwich period at the Institute of Analytical Science-ISAS / Dortmund-Germany in 2001, followed by a postdoctoral internship at the University of California Riverside (2011) and University of Birmingham (2021). André Rosa joined the Unesp faculty in 2003 and is (co)author of over 150 peer-reviewed journal articles, 5 books and approximately 17 book chapters. He was the Deputy Director and Director of the Institute of Science and Technology/Sorocaba Unesp (2010-2017) and Deputy Director of the Environmental Chemistry Division of the Brazilian Chemical Society (2008-2010). Since 2017 he has been a member and is currently Coordinator of the Environmental Sciences area of the National Council of Science and Technology-CNPq / Brazil. He has maintained important scientific collaborations with several universities, such as University of Birmingham/UK, Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research/Magdeburg-Germany, University of California/Riverside-USA, Friedrich–Alexander University Erlangen–Nürnberg/Germany, Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris/France, University of Bari /Italy, among others.
The main areas of research of Prof. Rosa are: (1) Environmental Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry applied to trace inorganic and organic contaminants in the environment; (2) Metal speciation and the role of organic matter in the distribution, interaction and availability of pollutants in the environment;(3) Reuse of agricultural residues for technological applications in water and sewage treatment and support for slow-release fertilizers;(4) Transport, transformation and risk of emerging contaminants including PFAS, PCBs, PBDEs, PAHs, pharmaceuticals, flame retardants and microplastics in the environment.
