dr. M (Merel) Kooi
Lecturer and researcher
My research focusses on microplastics (plastic particles between 1 µm en 5 mm) in the aquatic environment. The emphasis is on 1) correctly describing microplastic properties using continuous probability density functions, and 2) transport and fate modelling. Both research topics contribute to more realistic risk assessments for microplastics in our environment.
Furthermore, I am teaching in several courses focused on water quality and aquatic ecology.
