Environmental and Bioprocess Engineering Laboratory
- Behaviour and impacts of emerging contaminants in terrestrial and aquatic environments with a focus on engineered nanoparticles, pharmaceuticals and pesticides.
- Trace element analysis in biological, geological and environmental matrices, bioaccumulation, transformation and availability of metals/metalloids.
- Microbial community analyses of metabolic function, genetic diversity and assessment of DNA damage in exposed organisms.
- Study the release and aging of nanoparticles from commercial products and their impact on soil, plants and microbial ecosystems.
- Study the influence of plants rhizosphere on microbial ecosystem responsible for the treatment of pollutants in constructed wetlands.
- Study of the microbial genetic diversity within biotechnology used for the treatment of wastewater.
- Characterization of nanoparticles released from commercial products
