Enzo Lombi is a Professor and an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellow at the University of South Australia. Before joining CERAR in 2009, he was Associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen. He received a Ph.D. in Environmental Chemistry from the Catholic University of Italy and held positions at the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences in Vienna, Rothamsted Research (UK) and the CSIRO. His main area of research is in the biogeochemistry of trace elements and manufactured nanoparticles with an emphasis on synchrotron-based techniques. |
Ryo Sekine is a postdoctoral researcher in the Centre for Environmental Risk Assessment and Remediation (CERAR) at the University of South Australia. He is currently working within the framework of an Australian Research Council Discovery Project on environmental risk assessment of engineered nanomaterials. He has a background in vibrational spectroscopy and is extending his interests into synchrotron based X-ray and infrared techniques, with a focus on micro- and nano-scale processes. |
Erica Donner is a Research Fellow and an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellow recipient with Centre for Environmental Risk Assessment and Remediation (CERAR) at the University of South Australia. She holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Soil Chemistry from The University of Reading, UK. Erica uses a range of hard X-ray synchrotron techniques in her research investigating environmental contaminant and nutrient biogeochemistry and has conducted experiments at several different synchrotron facilities worldwide. |
