ResearchResearch interests
My main research areas of interest include microbial processes, electrochemical systems and water treatment - individually and as combined. In my research, I have focused on the sustainable removal of various contaminants and recovery of valuable compounds from environmental waters and wastewaters. My other research interests include electroactive microorganisms, extremophilic microorganisms, (bio)electrochemical metal recovery, catalysts for electrochemical oxygen reduction and biosorption of metals.
I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in the GREENER -project (Integrated systems for effective environmental remediation, H2020 GA no. 826312) treating contaminated waters with bioelectrochemical systems.
Research projects
GREENER proposes the development of green, sustainable, efficient, and low-cost solutions for soil/sediment and water bioremediation, by integrating several remediation strategies with innovative bio-electrochemical technologies. The project will effectively accelerate the remediation time of a range of organic and inorganic pollutants of high concern, while producing useful end-products, such as bioelectricity and/or harmless metabolites of industrial interest.
