Research Interests

  • Technologies of drinking water/toxic wastewater treatment using physicochemical and, mainly,  biological processes, aiming to optimize performance
  • Supervision of treatment plants for the biological removal of water pollutants (ammonia, iron, manganese) and the biological treatment of industrial wastewaters (dairy, olive mill, table olive, winery, hexavalent chromium, etc.)
  • Process modelling leading to the design of effective and economic systems for drinking water and wastewater treatment
