Laboratory Analysis Group

Join us for the upcoming Laboratory Analysis Group meeting, which will focus on microplastics.

We will be joined by: 

1. Dr SaeJune Park, Senior Lecturer in THz Electronics & Head of THz Laboratory at Queen Mary University of London. Dr Park is leading a groundbreaking project to develop novel sensors for microplastic detection in aquatic environments using future telecommunication technology.

2. Hayley McIlwraith, PhD researcher co-hosted by the Plymouth Marine Laboratory and the University of East Anglia. Ms McIlwraith has led a new study investigating the robustness of laboratory extraction processes from saltmarsh sediments, suggesting that they may have led to the underestimation of the scale of microplastic pollution.
