Environmental pollution

My research focuses on the risk related to the use of nanotechnology for the environment. I studied the release of nanoforms during their life cycle and their behavior and effect when released coupling experimental and modeling methods. Part of my work was done within the CEINT funded project and was highlighted by a collaborative publication in the prestigious journal "Nature Nanotechnology".
