As an interdisciplinary researcher, I focus on the interface between environmental chemistry, environmental mineralogy, and environmental remediation for the cleanup of soil and water contaminants. My research particularly focuses on the synthesis and applications of magnetic materials for adsorption and advanced oxidation processes such as Fenton and persulfate oxidation. Currently, my research is dedicated to studying the fate, analyses, and remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as forever chemicals” in contaminated soils. This project has been sponsored by ADEME (The French Agency for Ecological Transition): https://www.ademe.fr/
