Dr. Thilo Behrends is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geochemistry at Utrecht University's Faculty of Geosciences. His research focuses on redox transformations of metals in natural and contaminated environments, particularly processes at mineral and microbial surfaces. Key areas include iron and manganese cycling, radionuclide behavior in sediments, and microbial mediation of geochemical processes. He teaches courses such as Physical Chemistry and Field Research Instruction in Geochemistry, emphasizing aquatic and environmental chemistry.
Behrends has contributed to over 90 research outputs, with recent work published in journals like Environmental Science: Processes and Impacts and Water Research. His activities include presenting at conferences like Goldschmidt and serving as a member of MilieuChemTox since 2012. Research highlights involve studying iron shuttle mechanisms in marine basins and optimizing rapid sand filters for contaminant removal.
