Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZacharias Steinmetz is a postdoctoral environmental scientist who blends environmental chemistry, analytics, ecotoxicology, and soil science to understand how anthropogenic pollutants—notably plastics—move through agroecosystems from source to sink. His research focuses on sources, sinks, and pathways of plastics and other pollutants, developing novel methods to quantify synthetic polymers in heterogeneous matrices and using biomarkers to reveal indirect ecosystem effects. He holds a PhD in Environmental Sciences (1.1) and an MSc in Ecotoxicology (1.2) from the University of Koblenz and Landau, bringing over a decade of research experience and currently based at RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau since 2022. He is committed to open science and data analysis in R, as reflected in his GitHub bio, and aims to translate complex environmental data into practical insights for sustainable agriculture. His work enjoys international collaboration, with guest researcher stints at LUT University and the Volcani Institute, enriching his perspective on pollutant fate across ecosystems.
