Harriet Byrne
Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, Leipzig
Harriet is a PhD student working at the department of Environmental Analytical Chemistry at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research. She studied her Bachelors in Chemistry at the University of Sheffield, UK, before studying an interdisciplinary Masters in Environmental Sciences at the University of Vienna, Austria. Her PhD focuses on tyre and road wear particle associated chemicals. She is investigating differences in chemical fingerprints between different tyre material extracts and leachates and their transferability to environmental data, as well as quantification methods for TRWP in the environment.
