Environmental Nanotechnology
We apply fundamental chemical and biological principles to understand the behavior of nanomaterials in complex environmental matrices. We try to find “safer-by-design” approaches for water treatment, energy generation and agricultural sustainability.
·Nanotehcnology for the water-energy-agruculture Nexus
·Fate and behavior of nanomaterials in aquatic and terrestrial environments
Environmental Biotechnology
We apply omics and synthetic biology to address the interaction of emerging contaminants (ECs) and organisms, including bacteria, archaea and plants. We try to determine the environmental damage of ECs and to make them more environmentally sustainable.
·Environmental impact of emerging contaminants on organisms in three domain system
·Interaction of emerging contaminants and bio-interfaces of living cell cultures
