Senior Science Advisor
Mihai Aldea, Ph.D.
Senior Environmental Scientist
Dr. Mihai Aldea is a senior environmental scientist and consultant with 8 years of experience specializing in ecology, ecotoxicology, and global atmospheric change. Dr. Aldea has expertise in statistics, experimental and sampling designs, data management, and analysis, particularly as applied to ecology, toxicology, and microbiology. He has evaluated chemical and biological pollution of soil, sediment, and surface waters; assessed environmental persistence and accumulation; and examined ecological impact assessments of pesticides. Dr. Aldea has also performed laboratory and field-based ecological, invertebrate, and fish toxicity tests, investigating molecular and physiological effects at the organism level as well as population and ecosystem-wide impacts.
During his academic career, Dr. Aldea’s research focused on the effects of global climate change on forests and agro-ecosystems, from the molecular and physiological level to the ecosystem level. He conducted field and laboratory-based studies on the effects of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide and ozone on plant physiology, photosynthesis, and plant community dynamics in natural and agricultural ecosystems. Dr. Aldea’s research also investigated trophic chain relations between insect herbivores and host plants, and the ways in which global atmospheric change may both mediate these interactions and also affect productivity and the flow of carbon and nitrogen cycles.
Prior to his employment at Integral, Dr. Aldea conducted research into the management and mitigation of risk associated with the contamination of leafy vegetables by human enteric pathogens and other microorganisms. He developed a novel microbial safety test platform for the enumeration of spoilage organisms and human pathogens in leafy greens and an imaging instrument for real-time, remote evaluation of fresh produce quality during processing. Dr. Aldea also worked directly with producers and processors of leafy greens and implemented revisions to current good manufacturing practice guidelines toward minimizing the risk of contamination of fresh leafy greens by human enteric pathogens using and integrative approach, “from seed to consumer.”
