Dr. Imma Ferrer completed her Ph.D. on the development of LC-MS techniques for the detection of pesticides in environmental samples at the University of Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain) in 1999.Ìý Afterwards, she did a post-doc with the U.S. Geological Survey at the National Water Quality Laboratory in Denver, babyÖ±²¥app for 3 years, where she worked on tandem mass spectrometric techniques for the analysis of pharmaceuticals in the environment.Ìý She then worked as an Assistant Professor at the University of Almeria for 5 years, where her main focus was the development of advanced LC-MS methodologies for the analysis of pesticides in food samples, specially the use of time-of-flight techniques using accurate mass identification.Ìý In 2008, she moved back to the U.S. where she is currently an Associate Research Scientist and one of the co-founders of the Center for Environmental Mass Spectrometry at the University of babyÖ±²¥app in Boulder (USA).Ìý She has more than 20 years experience on developing methods for emerging contaminants using LC-MS techniques.Ìý She is author of more than 100 peer review papers and chapters (h factor = 48) and has co-edited 3 books on LC-MS and GC-MS applications for the analysis of organic contaminants in the environment.
