Research areas:
The primary research focus lies in the high-performance analytical examination of organic micropollutants (pharmaceutical residues, pesticides, etc.), determination of their presence, and exploration of possibilities for their removal from various environments.
Till his habilitation in 2020, Gábor Maász has contributed to several impactful researches on the fields of pharmaceuticals in water, efficiency of bank filtration, and the occurrence of pharmaceutically active compounds in environmental water samples. Since 2020, he has been conducting research engaging in environmental analytical surveys in the field of sustainable pharmacy, and providing analytical support for purification technology developments.
