"She is a firm believer that mobilities can significantly help strengthen the collaboration among participating institutes and elevate the research activities performed"
Dr. Maria G. Antoniou serves as a member of WP3 Environment Engineering of EUt+ and she is involved in the development of a new joint Master’s program in Environmental Engineering among the EUt+ partners and the mobilities of students and researchers within the institutes of EUt+. She is a firm believer that mobilities (for students, researchers and academics) can significantly help strengthen the collaboration among participating institutes and elevate the research activities performed. Hence, she wanted to be part of this effort as she has done the past decade as the Erasmus Rep of her department.
Dr. Antoniou is an Assistant Professor at Chemical Engineering Department of the Cyprus University of Technology. She holds a BSc in Chemistry from the University of Cyprus (2002) and completed a PhD in the Water Quality Program at the University of Cincinnati in March 2010. During her PhD research, she served as a Guest Visitor at the US EPA in Cincinnati and worked as a Post-doctoral Fellow at DTU-Environment (2-year appointment) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). At CUT she established the Water Treatment Laboratory-AQUA, where research activities related to the application of emerging advanced oxidation processes for the removal of micropollutants from water, wastewater, and soil for the removal of emerging and persistent contaminants.
Her team also specializes in the prevention, monitoring, detection and treatment of cyanobacteria harmful blooms and their toxins from surface waters. She participated and was the principal investigator in a number of national and European projects related to toxic cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins.
