0000-0001-5308-703X About
I am an interdisciplinary researcher working at the interface of soil science, plant science, environmental sustainability, and the circular bioeconomy. My research focuses on biochar and other carbon-negative materials for sustainable agriculture, soil health, bioremediation, pollutant removal, and the remediation and recovery of heavy metals from contaminated environments. I investigate soil–plant interactions and the physiological, biochemical, and metabolic responses of plants to environmental stresses. My work aims to develop sustainable, nature-based solutions for soil restoration, carbon sequestration, waste valorization, and resilient agricultural systems. I am also interested in advancing research on emerging environmental pollutants and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to support climate change mitigation and environmental protection.
