PhD student working on the environmental fate and mobility of anthropogenic nanoparticles in porous media. My research focuses on understanding nanoparticle transport, transformation, and reactivity under variable saturation and temperature conditions.

I am a PhD student at ENSCR working on the DYNAMO project (Dynamics and Mobility of Nanoparticles Under Variable Saturation and Temperature Conditions). My research focuses on understanding the reactivity, transport, and mobility of anthropogenic nanoparticles in complex porous environmental systems under dynamic hydric and thermal conditions.

I hold a Master’s degree in Physical and Analytical Chemistry from the University of Strasbourg and a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from UFAZ (Université Franco-Azerbaïdjanaise). My previous research focused on the design and physicochemical characterization of polymer nanoparticles for biomedical applications using techniques such as dynamic light scattering (DLS), spectroscopy, and fluorescence analysis.

During my PhD, I investigate the coupling between molecular-scale surface interactions and nanoparticle transport dynamics using complementary experimental approaches, including spectroscopic characterization, imaging techniques, and porous media experiments. The goal is to improve the understanding and prediction of nanoparticle fate in environmental and engineered systems under varying saturation and temperature conditions.
