Willie Peijnenburg graduated in 1984 in organic chemistry from Eindhoven University of Technology. In 1988 he received his PhD for the thesis entitled “An Experimental and Quantumchemical Study on the Mechanism and Stereochemistry of Photochemical [1,3] Sigmatropic Shifts”. Following completion of the Ph.D. thesis, he started a career at the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), and now holds the position of Project Manager/Scientific coordinator at the Laboratory for Ecological Risk Assessment.
