Dr Tlou Mosekiemang
PhD (Chemistry), Stellenbosch University
MSc (Environmental Science) University of Botswana
BSc (Applied Chemistry) RMIT University, Melbourne Australia
Dr Mosekiemang is an environmental analytical chemist with research interest in the separation science (i.e., liquid & supercritical chromatography), advanced mass spectrometry analysis and method development and/or validation for the detection of novel organic pollutants in wastewater. His expertise is specifically on instrumental analysis in particular the application of novel separation methods to detect organic pollutants in very complex samples. Dr Mosekiemang's research group focuses on all aspects of environmental analytical- and instrumental analysis. More recently, his focus has been on wide scope screening (i.e., benchwork based on high resolution mass spectrometry) for the scouting of novel aquatic pollutants (in particular metabolomics) in aquatic ecosystems.
