Jan H. Christensen

Jan H. Christensen is a Professor in the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science, specializing in Environmental Chemistry and Physics. His research focuses on advanced analytical techniques for environmental contaminants, particularly using mass spectrometry and chromatography methods.

His research interests span Environmental Chemistry, Mass Spectrometry, and Contaminant Analysis, with significant contributions in wastewater treatment, soil pollution, and natural product chemistry. Recent work examines contaminants of emerging concern in wastewater, phenolic compounds in shea nuts, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soil systems.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals strong emphasis on analytical method development for environmental monitoring, particularly in wastewater and food systems. His work combines advanced chromatographic techniques with mass spectrometry to address challenges in contaminant detection and natural product profiling.

Professor Christensen actively participates in international conferences including SETAC Europe and symposia on polycyclic aromatic compounds. His research has practical applications in environmental protection, water treatment, and food science, particularly regarding West African shea nut processing.

His professional activities include significant contributions to the Galathea 3 expedition and public outreach initiatives involving schoolchildren in scientific research. He maintains an active research profile with 203 documented research outputs including journal articles, book chapters, and conference presentations.
