Thilo Hofmann

Thilo Hofmann is a full Professor at the University of Vienna, affiliated with the Department of Environmental Geosciences and Department of Analytical Chemistry. He leads multiple research initiatives including the Research Platform Plastics in the Environment and Society and the Environment and Climate Research Hub.

• Academic Leadership: Head roles in plastics research and environmental climate hubs
• Teaching: Offers courses in biogeochemistry, environmental chemistry, and geosciences
• Labs: Focus on nanoparticle interactions, contaminant transport, and microplastics

His research spans environmental geochemistry, nanoparticle dynamics, and pollutant behavior in ecosystems. He investigates microplastic impacts on food safety, tire-wear contaminants, and nanoparticle interactions in soils and aquatic systems.

Recent publications analyze nanoplastics' role in contaminant transport, chemical leaching from plastics, and metal-pollutant interactions in marine and terrestrial environments.
