Professor Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern is Professor of Environmental and Analytical Chemistry at the University of Bath. She leads the Environmental Chemistry and Public Health Research Group and serves as Director of both the Centre of Excellence in Water-Based Early Warning Systems for Health Protection (CWBE) and the NERC Centre for Doctoral Training in Real-Time Digital Water-Based Systems (RED-ALERT CDT).
Her research spans the interconnected fields of environmental, analytical, and water sciences. She has made major contributions to advancing the understanding of the occurrence, fate, transformation, and chemical speciation of both emerging and legacy pollutants in the environment. Her work has also focused on developing and evaluating innovative, evidence-based solutions, including those that are not solely technology-driven, to reduce environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Professor Kasprzyk-Hordern’s current research focuses on the development of early warning systems for environmental and public health protection through water -based epidemiology. Her work integrates environmental chemistry, public health, epidemiology, and digital technologies to support the One Health approach and inform policy and decision-making at local, national, and international levels
