About

Who I am

Hoi Shing Lo – Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow, Dept. of Environmental Science, Stockholm University.
• >29 peer-reviewed papers, h-index 15; patent & silver-medal winner (Inventions Geneva).
• PI/co-PI on five competitive projects (>€350k) and lead of TRAP – a drone-enabled beach-wrack management concept.

Core expertise

  1. Marine plastic pollution – fate, toxicity, analytical chemistry (GC-MS, ICP-MS) and mitigation strategies.

  2. Algal physiology – sampling, contamination control (heavy metals, PFAS, microplastics) and nutrient profiling.

  3. Ecotoxicology & soil health – multi-endpoint assays to ensure new materials enhance, not harm, terrestrial ecosystems.

  4. Citizen science and outreach – wide network with regard to marine litter management in Sweden.

What I offer to a CBE-JU consortium (Topic RIA-02, 2025)

  • Effect testing – standardised ecotoxicological protocols for testing new materials in various environmental components, e.g., biota, runoff water, sediments

  • Environmental & agronomic validation – test nutrient-release curves, soil-microbiome impacts, biodegradability (ISO 17556/EN 17033) and absence of cadmium or other contaminants.

  • Field-demo network – contacts with Swedish coastal farmers and NGOsfor pilot plots comparing new films to conventional polymer coatings.

  • Impact & dissemination – proven outreach to policymakers (MSFD/Habitats Directive input) and citizen-science engagement to scale adoption.
