Eva Valsami-Jones

Eva Valsami-Jones is a Professor specializing in Geosystems Nanoscience, focusing on nanomaterials' environmental interactions, safety-by-design principles, and their implications for sustainable technologies. Her work bridges geochemistry, nanotechnology, and ecotoxicology, addressing critical challenges in mineral formation dynamics, engineered nanomaterial behavior, and nanohybrid safety assessment.

Her research portfolio includes over 160 publications and 34 funded projects. Notable projects include SiToLub (designing safe lubricants via simulation tools) and ACCORDs (safety profiling of 2D materials using correlative imaging). She leads initiatives like MOZART, exploring eco-friendly metal-matrix composites, and co-leads CompSafeNano, advancing nano-informatics approaches for safe nanomaterials.

Key research areas include:

• Nanomaterial dissolution dynamics and analytical techniques
• Ecotoxicological impacts of graphene-gold hybrids and nanoplastics
• Hydrothermal system mineralogy and isotope fractionation
• Sustainable nanotechnology applications in environmental remediation

Her work contributes to UN SDGs 3 (Good Health), 6 (Clean Water), 12 (Responsible Consumption), and 15 (Life on Land) through interdisciplinary solutions addressing nanotechnology's environmental implications.
