Speech Title: Emerging Strategies for Illicit Drug Surveillance in Urban Aquatic Environments
Biography: Dr. Jérémy Masbou is an Associate Professor at the National School for Water and Environmental Engineering of Strasbourg (ENGEES), France, and a researcher at the Institut Terre et Environnement de Strasbourg (ITES, UMR 7063, University of Strasbourg-CNRS-ENGEES). His research focuses on innovative monitoring strategies for emerging contaminants in aquatic environments, with particular emphasis on urban water quality, illicit drugs, pesticides, and microplastics. He develops advanced environmental monitoring approaches combining automated high-frequency sampling, wastewater-based epidemiology, compound-specific isotope analysis, and state-of-the-art analytical chemistry to better understand pollutant sources, transport, and transformation. His work aims to support sustainable water resource management and evidence-based environmental decision-making. He has coordinated and contributed to several national and international research projects dedicated to urban water monitoring, contaminant source tracking, and the development of innovative tools for water quality assessment.
