Anca-Iulia Stoica

Anca-Iulia Stoica is a researcher at the Institute for Urban Water Engineering, Industrial Water Management and Water Protection, Department of Landscape, Water and Infrastructure, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). Her research spans analytical and environmental chemistry with a focus on sensor development, surface engineering, and water quality. She leads the EU-funded ProCleanLakes project and is involved in international capacity-building efforts in Albania.

Her research interests include the development of sensors, biosensors, and immunosensors for environmental, clinical, and food analysis, nanostructuring of functional surfaces, corrosion protection of aluminum alloys, and sustainable wastewater and sludge treatment. She employs advanced analytical techniques such as AFM, ToF-SIMS, FTIR, and electrochemical methods to study surface chemistry and material performance.

Her recent publications reflect a strong trend in environmental monitoring, electrochemical sensing, and materials for sustainability. Key themes include CO₂ capture using biochar, atmospheric pollution assessment via biomonitoring, corrosion-resistant coatings, and pharmaceutical analysis using ion-selective electrodes. Her work bridges fundamental electrochemistry with practical applications in environmental protection and public health.
