My name is Frithjof Herb, but some know me as Fritz.
I am a PhD student exploring topics at the intersection of data science, health, and environment. I currently apply my background in mathematics and chemistry, focusing on addressing challenges related to analysis of data relating to nano-medicines and microplastic lifecycles.
During my undergraduate chemistry studies, I worked on a project relating to nanoscale drug delivery systems, which was disrupted by COVID-19. This created an unexpected opportunity for me to join a collaborative project between the University of Newcastle and the Sail and Explore Association, which led to valuable research highlighting a likely under-representation of true microplastic counts using current methods. This experience gave me a passion for environmental research, which I continued to nurture.
I currently interact with this field by exploring methods for automating the analysis of environmental microplastic samples through an PhD project.
I am fluent in English and German, and have studied abroad. I welcome contact and value questions and discourse on all things AI, Chemistry, Environment, and beyond.
