Dr. Stefan Hulth

Biography

Stefan Hulth is a professor at the University of Gothenburg specializing in marine chemistry and biogeochemistry. His research focuses on the biogeochemical structure and function of coastal marine environments, particularly the microbial processes and functional biodiversity that underpin key ecosystem functions in benthic habitats. His work involves developing state-of-the-art analytical techniques for solute detection and utilizing advanced molecular diagnostic tools for bacterial identification and functional characterization. He has conducted significant research on nitrogen cycle pathways in marine environments, the impact of macrofaunal biodiversity on organic material mineralization, and the regeneration of nutrients in benthic systems, especially in relation to macro-algal blooms. In his teaching, he focuses on chemistry and marine biogeochemistry, integrating historical evolution and element cycling within the oceans. Hulth has served in various leadership roles, including as Head of the Department of Marine Sciences and Vice Dean for education at the University.
