Chemical food safety · Evidence to decision
I am a chemical risk assessor at BIOR in Riga. My current work brings together occurrence, exposure, toxicological and literature evidence to compare chemical risks and develop transparent methods for assessment and monitoring priorities.
Which chemical risks should food monitoring and assessment focus on when data and resources are limited?
Postdoctoral research
2025–2028 · BIOR
I lead a project connecting Latvian food and feed contaminant data with food consumption and toxicological reference values. The aim is to compare risks consistently, make uncertainty visible and support decisions about assessment and monitoring priorities.
About the project at BIORMy practice is a connected process: organise the evidence, assess what it means, build usable methods, and explain the reasoning clearly.
Bring occurrence, consumption, toxicological and literature evidence together while keeping provenance and limitations visible.
Evaluate exposure, uncertainty, risk–benefit trade-offs and priorities.
Turn fragmented evidence into databases, toolkits and transparent comparison methods.
Make the scientific reasoning useful to decision-makers, specialists, students and public audiences.
The overview stays brief. The detail now has distinct places, depending on what you want to understand.

ORCID Google ScholarI welcome collaborations on combining contaminant-occurrence datasets, extracting evidence from the literature, and developing dietary-exposure and risk-prioritisation methods. I am particularly interested in projects connecting analytical laboratories, research groups and public risk-assessment institutions.
