Audrey Biesmans

Audrey Biesmans began working as a chemical analyst in the Laboratory for Materials Research and Chemical Analysis (LMC) in April 2021. She works primarily with liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. This technique is used to analyse different types of components that are potentially hazardous for water quality; examples include drugs of abuse, highly polar compounds and indicator compounds. Audrey attended Avans University of Applied Sciences, where she studied Chemistry, with a major in Forensic Chemistry research. During her internships and first employment, she mainly acquired experience with analysis and method development on the LC-MS/MS. Audrey also often worked in a research team on the development and optimisation of methods on the LC-MS/MS.
