About me

During last years, I have worked on soil chemistry of urban areas in various national and European projects. Our group main research interest are soil science and waste recycling, spanning from the dynamic of inorganic contaminants in soil matrices to urban pollution and urban biomass reuse.

Regarding bio-waste management practices we work on upgrading of urban bio-waste and compost for their use in industrial processes and agriculture as fertilizers, bioplastics production, emulsifiers and detergents.
