My research spans the field of environmental chemistry, water quality, water technology and management, and broader approaches to the circular use of resources. I make use of analytical tools to characterize pollutants in water and related matrices, also to develop water treatment technology, namely nature-based solutions, novel fixed biofilm reactors and bioelectrochemical systems.
