Núria Fontanals Torroja
Dr. Núria Fontanals is Senior Researcher in the Analytical and Organic Chemistry Department at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Tarragona since 2007. Since 2016, she is hired as support Research Technician. Her research career has combined the preparation of polymeric materials, most of them with mixed-mode ion-exchange features, for different extraction techniques and their evaluation and application in analytical fields using chromatographic techniques followed by mass spectrometry detection in order to enhance the sensitivity and selectivity in the determination of challenging compounds in complex samples. Thus, she shows multidisciplinary expertise in the field of material preparation, in the analytical method development and in the application to environmental samples. These analytical methods have been widely applied to the determination of contaminants from environmental samples including surface and sewage water as well as biota. In addition, she has been involved in other research lines related to food and bioanalysis.
She is leading the research line devoted to development of materials in collaboration with numerous research groups internationally placed in the preparation of sorptive materials, highlighting Prof. Peter Cormack from the Strathclyde University of Glasgow, UK, Dr. Abuzar Kabir from the Florida International University of Miami, USA; and Dr. Panagiotis Maniesotis from Queen’s University of Belfast, Belfast, UK.
