Biography

Jana Johansson is an Associate Professor at Linköping University, where her research primarily focuses on the sources, fate, transport, and analysis of environmental contaminants. Her multidisciplinary approach combines fieldwork, experimental studies, and the application of novel analytical chemistry techniques, particularly non-target analysis and high-resolution mass spectrometry. A significant portion of her research is dedicated to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of persistent chemicals with global distribution and potential health risks. In addition to her research, Johansson is active in science communication, striving to make complex environmental issues accessible to the general public. She has produced a series of audio documentaries on the history of environmental chemistry. Currently, she leads an interdisciplinary project that develops teaching modules for environmental chemistry aimed at upper secondary school courses in chemistry and natural sciences. Johansson coordinates the course “Biogeochemistry Environmental Analysis” and teaches courses titled “The Complexity of Environmental Issues: Theory and Practice” and “The Emergence and Transformation of Societal Systems.”
