Research: Electrobioremediation of groundwater containing complex mixtures of contaminants
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and a Master’s degree in Industrial and Environmental Biotechnology from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. My academic background is focused on environmental biotechnology, with a strong interest in bioremediation and sustainable wastewater treatment.
I have gained research experience in both academic and industrial settings. I was involved for one year and a half in research activities at BioremUAB (Toxics Group), working at a pilot-scale facility for the biological treatment of agricultural wastewater with fungi. I have also collaborated with Venvirotech Biotechnology on the development of sustainable bioplastics from organic residues, strengthening my interest in applied research and technology transfer.
Additionally, I completed a research internship at the Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG) and an academic mobility stay at the University of Coimbra (Portugal).
As a doctoral student, my goal is to contribute to the development of innovative and sustainable biotechnological solutions to environmental challenges, specially those that investigate the elimination of microcontaminants in the environment.
