Basic Information and Current Positions

Professor, Côte d'Azur University (formerly University of Nice Sophia Antipolis) Senior Researcher, Institute of Chemistry of Nice (Institut de Chimie de Nice, ICN)

Research Directions

1. Environmental geochemistry and modeling: Focusing on the adsorption and migration patterns of heavy metals and radionuclides (such as uranium, selenium, chromium, etc.) on the surfaces of soils, sediments, and minerals (such as hematite, magnetite, and clay).

2. Surface Complexation Modeling (SCM): Specializing in using complex mathematical models to simulate chemical reactions at mineral interfaces, providing a theoretical basis for nuclear waste disposal and environmental remediation.

3. Marine and coastal environmental protection: Researching stabilization technologies for trace elements in port sediments along the French Mediterranean coast (such as L'Estaque, Marseille) to prevent secondary pollution of marine ecosystems by heavy metals.

4. Industrial waste treatment: Exploring the use of industrial residues (such as the red mud derivative Bauxaline®) to stabilize toxic elements in contaminated sediments.

Landmark Achievements

1. Possesses a large number of high-quality academic outputs recorded in ResearchGate and theses.fr, involving the chemical behavior of various typical pollutants (such as arsenic, cadmium, copper, molybdenum, antibiotics, etc.) in the environment.

2. Participated projects:

• Study on the adsorption characteristics of natural clays for arsenic and cationic dyes in aqueous solutions
• Biogeochemical research on the impact of uranium on soil bacterial communities
• Experimental and modeling research on silicate adsorption on iron oxide surfaces

International Exchange and Social Contributions

Maintains long-term academic cooperation with multiple scientific research institutions in North Africa (such as Morocco) and Europe, promoting the research and development of environmental governance technologies for low- and middle-income countries.
