Eugenia (Éva) Valsami-Jones (PhD) is a Professor of Environmental Nanoscience at the University of Birmingham and Editor-in-Chief of the journal Nanomaterials. She holds a degree in Earth Sciences from the University of Athens and a PhD in Geochemistry from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Her research focuses on nanoscale processes in the environment and within biota. She has pioneered the development of traceable stable-isotope labelled nanomaterials and has studied the development of analytical solutions for the improvement in speed and quality of identification of nanoscale objects in complex matrices. She is currently working on understanding the effects of ageing on nanoplastics, developing nanoscale fertilisers and applying safe and sustainable by design approaches to the development of novel advanced materials. She was the Mineralogical Society’s Distinguished Lecturer for 2015 and the Distinguished Guest Lecturer and Medalist of the Royal Society of Chemistry for 2015. She is currently a Royal Society Wolfson Fellow. She is a member of the coordination team of  the Network for Safety and sustainability of Chemicals and material sand has participated in several EU funded projects and coordinated projects ACEnano, NanoMILE, ModNanoTox and NanoReTox.
