Carsten Suhr Jacobsen, ENVP 2026 Organising Committte

Professor Carsten Suhr Jacobsen

Head of the Department of Environmental Science, Aarhus University, Denmark

Carsten Suhr Jacobsen is a professor at Aarhus University, Denmark, specializing in environmental microbiology with a focus on ecosystems influenced by human made chemicals. He has been involved in several large projects aimed at understanding the interactions between microbial communities and their environments, with the goal of protecting soil health and water quality. Professor Jacobsen’s work employs advanced techniques, including multi-omics and microbial ecology tools, to explore how microbial processes can be harnessed for environmental restoration and ecosystem resilience. His research contributes to a better understanding of how soil microbes play a crucial role in nutrient cycling, soil structure, and plant health, especially in the context of mitigating the negative impacts of pesticides and other pollutants. His research projects, such as EMBARQ, GENEPEASE and INTERACT, focus on leveraging microbial functions in soil and groundwater ecosystems.

Henrik Holbech, ENVP 2026 Organising Committte

Associate Professor Henrik Holbech

Associate Professor, Department of Biology, University of Southern Denmark

Henrik Holbech is associate professor and research group leader in the Ecotoxicology group at the Department of Biology, University of Southern Denmark. He is specialized in developing OECD test guidelines for detecting endocrine-disrupting chemicals in fish and invertebrates. He currently works on new biomarkers and endpoints to identify thyroid-disrupting chemicals across vertebrate classes. His research interests include effects of chemicals on vertebrate and invertebrate endocrinology, development of new approach methodologies (NAMs) and improved use of toxicity data across taxa in a “One Health” approach.

Professor Jan H. Christensen

Professor, Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen

Jan H. Christensen is professor of environmental analytical chemistry at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen, where he leads the Analytical Chemistry group and heads the Research Centre for Advanced Analytical Chemistry (RAACE). His group develops advanced analytical platforms and data-processing methods, including comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC-MS) and non-targeted screening, to characterise complex environmental samples.

Professor Kristian Syberg

Professor, Head of Section, Department of Science and Environment, Roskilde University

Kristian Syberg is professor at Roskilde University, where his research bridges ecotoxicology, chemical risk assessment and environmental regulation, with a particular focus on plastic pollution. He draws on the fields of (eco)toxicology, governance, Science-to-policy, citizen science, and circular-economy in his work. He leads the Danish national centre for research in marine plastic pollution (MarinePlastic II), the Center for Interdisciplinary Plastic Research (CIPR), and serves as scientific advisor for the national partnership for circular economy for plastics and textiles – Trace.

Professor Nina Cedergreen

Professor, Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen

Nina Cedergreens research has focussed on mixture and cocktail effects: how the combined effects of chemicals and other stressors can be predicted, and when mixtures act synergistically to produce larger effects than expected. Currently Nina Cedergreen hosts a 6 year NNF grant on The Safety of Biotechnological Plant Protection Products based on RNA and Peptide Technologies (ENSAFE.dk), creating the scientific foundation, methods and tools to evaluate the environmental safety of these new second-generation biopesticides. Her interests include chemical mode of action, risk assessment and natural bioactive compounds. She teaches toxicology and ecotoxicology at BSc, MSc and PhD level.

Head of Section Pedro Carvalho

Head of Section and Associate Professor, Department of Environmental Science, Aarhus University

Pedro Carvalho is associate professor in environmental chemistry and head of the Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology section at the Department of Environmental Science, Aarhus University. His research spans water quality, technology and management, focusing on organic micropollutants and circular resource use. He applies advanced analytical tools to support the development of treatment solutions, including nature-based systems, treatment wetlands, as well as biofilm reactors, and bioelectrochemical systems. He is a former co-chair of an IWA Specialist Group, coordinates the Marie Curie NEUTRAL4GS project, collaborates widely across Europe and the Global South.

Conference Secretary Peter Svendsen

Conference Secretary, Environmental Pollutants 2026, and Administrative Officer, Department of Environmental Science, Aarhus University

Peter Svendsen is an administrative officer at the Department of Environmental Science, Aarhus University, and serves as conference secretary for Environmental Pollutants 2026. He supports researchers running large projects with the administrative and practical side of their work, spanning communication, post-award research support, coordination, and the planning and facilitation of workshops and meetings. For ENVP 2026 he handles the organisational backbone of the event, so the scientific programme can take centre stage.
