Pedro Alejandro Segura

Pedro Alejandro Segura serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Sherbrooke, specializing in environmental contamination analysis and toxicity assessment. His work bridges analytical chemistry with environmental health through advanced method development.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Chemistry from Université de Montréal (2009)
• Postdoctoral fellowship at Environment Canada (2009-2011)
• Postdoctoral fellowship at McGill University (2011-2013)

Research focuses on chemical/biological contamination in environmental and food systems, with core activities in:

• LC-MS/LC-MS/MS method development for contaminant detection
• Structural elucidation of emerging environmental substances
• Metabolomics-based toxicity assessment
• Wastewater pharmaceutical analysis and treatment

His work addresses critical gaps in water safety and contaminant fate through innovative analytical approaches.

Recent publications (2013-2014) reveal consistent specialization in wastewater ozonation processes, particularly regarding pharmaceutical transformation products and chemotherapeutic agent monitoring. These studies demonstrate methodological rigor in liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry applications for environmental matrices, highlighting contributions to pharmaceutical pollution tracking and water treatment efficacy evaluation.
