Dr E. ROTH, has been working for 20 years in environmental chemistry and especially on atmospheric chemistry with the study of the fate of VOCs or semi-volatile compounds in both gaseous and heterogeneous phases. Her main expertise is to provide kinetic, mechanistic and spectroscopic data concerning atmospheric processes. She has supervised 7 PhD students up to date and (co)authored 50 peer reviewed papers. In link with her research activities in atmospheric chemistry, she is involved in the civil society as board member of the regional Air Quality Monitoring Organization (ATMO Grand Est) which records regulatory pollutants such as ozone, NOX and particles and cares about emergent pollutants and atmospheric processes. She recently joined the association “Femmes et Sciences” to promote scientific professions to women.
