Gabriela Kalčíková is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology at the University of Ljubljana. She obtained her master’s at the Faculty of Chemistry and a Ph.D. at the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology at the same university. She is very enthusiastic about microplastic (MPs) research and her research group is focused on the preparation and characterization of environmentally relevant MPs, the fate and behavior of MPs in laboratory wetlands, environmental aging, the development of biofilm, and the evaluation of MPs properties, interactions of MPs with freshwater organisms (especially vascular plants) and on adsorption of pollutants on the MPs surface and their consequential leaching.
