Water treatment & Environmental Monitoring
Access to clean drinking water is one of today’s most urgent challenges. We develop innovative water treatment technologies, from nature-based systems to advanced biofilters and electrochemical processes, to guarantee safe and high quality water supplies. By combining microbial biotechnology and ecology, electrochemistry, and hydrogeochemisry, we provide scalable solutions for contaminant removal and water safety and security.
Lines of Research
- Constructed wetlands, advanced biofilters and nature-based solutions
- Microbial community monitoring techniques
- Environmental hydrogeochemistry applied to heavy metal and organic micropollutant contamination in sediments and water
- Earth observation of water dynamics
Applications
- Sustainable waste water treatment
- Monitoring, assessment & improvement water quality and safety
- Modelling of water pulses and risk
