	Biography

The focus of Jochen's research is on identifying pollutants and measure their potential effects on people and the environment

Jochen's has studied at the University of Hohenheim (Master Agric.-Biol, 1992) and at Griffith University (PhD 1997). Early research focused on transfer pathways of dioxin-like chemcials from contaminated sites into (food) plants. He developed an arteficial leave to better understand processes which lead to his interest in passive sampling techniques.
In 1997 he joined Entox where over the years established a research focus on sources, fate and human exposure to persistent organic pollutants. He lead various studies for Australia's National Dioxin Program and subsequent the Brominated Flame Retardant Programs. His work on passive samplers and bioanalytical techniques has received support from ARC and many industry partners.
He has commenced a sample archive with the aim to allow retrospective analysis of changes in pollutant exposure in Australia.
