• Assessed the novel technology ‘tribology’ for the degradation of toxic/persistent organic pollutants.• Used bioassays to investigate the toxicity and the endocrine disruption potency of organic pollutants such as PCDD/Fs, PCBs, PAHs, and EDCs.• Prepared internal reports for the international triboREMEDY team and the European Commission.https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/829047/reporting• Delivered presentations about toxic micropollutants at international conferences, partnership meetings, andseminars.• Optimized the current AhR-CALUX bioanalytical assay for micropollutant investigation in water and soil samples.

During my internship at Capterall®, an innovative water treatment research and innovation platform within Solvay, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the development of sustainable solutions for the treatment of both industrial and urban wastewater. In this role, my primary responsibilities included designing and executing experimental plans for laboratory analysis and water treatment (on a lab scale and on a μ-pilot scale), optimization of the wastewater treatment processes, and commissioning of industrial pilot and machinery.
