We are delighted to introduce Tamar Kohn as an Associate Editor for our new journal Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology.
About Tamar
After receiving a Diploma in Environmental Science at ETZH in Switzerland, Tamar completed her PhD in Environmental Engineering at John Hopkins University in 2004. She then became a Postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley.
Currently, Tamar is an Associate Professor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, in Switzerland, where she heads the Environmental Chemistry Laboratory. The aim of Tamar’s research is to understand the fundamental principles and processes that lead to improved water quality in natural and engineered systems, including pertinent water quality issues such as viral pathogens and organic micropollutants. She uses a combination of (photo-) chemical, molecular biological and modelling tools to gain knowledge enabling the improvement of existing water treatment systems and development of novel, more effective methods.
Previously, Tamar was co-guest editor for the themed issue, 2012 Emerging Investigators, in our sister journal, Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts.
My most memorable advice:
“Make sure to step back from your work every once in a while, to reflect on what you’re doing, and to decide if you’re still headed in a relevant direction. If not, be brave enough to change course.”
