My research spans the field of environmental chemistry, water quality issues, water technology and management, and broader approaches to the circular use of resources.
I make use of analytical tools to characterize pollutants in water, also to develop water treatment technology, namely nature-based solutions. I am part of different networks, consortiums, and forums dealing with water management issues and circularity.
Nowadays, I am working on different projects covering:
- soil and biocides degradation and leaching;
- water (surface, runoff, wastewater) and 1) micropollutants degradation processes; 2) development and implementation of nature-based solutions; 3) novel fixed biofilm reactors and bioelectrochemical systems; 4) water reuse and its implications, both energy and nutrient recovery and health protection.
- modeling resources availability and co-benefits of nature-based solutions.
