PhD researcher

Biography

When I studied chemistry, I was always most passionate about inorganic chemistry and applying chemistry to environmentally relevant topics. The logical consequence is working on phosphate recovery from manure. I do so by studying the barriers and enablers of forming the iron phosphate vivianite in different environments.
