IRINA LEVCHUK
Postdoctoral Researcher
Postdoctoral Researcher, Fine Particle and Aerosol Technology Laboratory (FINE), Kuopio
My research is mainly dealing with Advanced Oxidation Processes (photocatalysis, UV/H2O2, catalytic wet peroxide oxidation, etc.) for decomposition of persistents organic pollutants, contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) and inactivation of pathogens in industrial and urban wastewater.
