Biography

I am an enthusiastic and curious French Postdoctoral researcher working on phosphorus recovery. The main approach I am investigating is the precipitation of vivianite (FeP), and its magnetic recovery from sewage sludge. To relax, I like to go to metal festivals and play board games with my friends.
