My research broadly investigates environmental radioactivity, e.g, how naturally occurring radionuclides behave, where they end up, and what risks they pose.
I work with radiometric analysis across a wide range of matrices: construction materials, food products, surface waters, marine sediments, and terrestrial environments. The goal is generating data that can be used for regulatory compliance, environmental licensing, and informed decision-making in industrial contexts.
A growing focus of my work is the oil and gas industry, where NORM builds up in pipelines, produced water, and solid residues throughout the production chain.
Beyond characterization, my research explores the potential of adsorption materials, such as zeolites and microalgae, as scalable solutions for NORM treatment and storage in the upstream oil & gas industry. This work spans physicochemical, analytical, and radiological methods, supporting both material characterization and regulatory licensing. At the core of my PhD nowdays, I am interested in Monte Carlo simulations using Geant4 to model radionuclide transport and dose assessment in non-human biota, including marine organisms and food crops.

Monte Carlo simulations using MCNP applied to dose assessment from NORM in consumer products and construction materials, with organ-specific estimates using anthropomorphic phantoms. While simulation is not the primary focus, some collaborative work have been made in this direction.
