Edgar Pinto is a Professor at the School of Health of IPP and researcher at LAQV/REQUIMTE. He has a Ph.D. degree in Sustainable Chemistry from the University of Porto (2014) and vast experience in the fields of analytical, food and environmental chemistry. His main interests are the study of nutrients and contaminants transfer in the soil-water-plant system under abiotic and biotic stresses and the use of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in the analysis of both nutrients and contaminants in food and environmental matrices.
