Research interests

Analytical and environmental chemistry.

Environmental Photochemistry:
• Solar and visible-light based photocatalytic processes for water and indoor air treatment
• Solar photodegradation of trace organic contaminants (pharmaceuticals, pesticides) in waters
• Identification and characterization of photoproducts and intermediates
• Phototransformations of dissolved organic matter (humic matter) and the carbon cycle

Humic matter and its role on the fate of contaminants in water and soil

Academic degrees
