With my research, I hope to contribute to the sustainability of the groundwater resources through the better understanding and prediction of the fate, transport and societal implications of contaminants in soils and aquifers. This includes the development of numerical solutions for reactive transport in heterogeneous aquifers, transport upscaling and the application of stochastic approaches to account for uncertainty on predictions at the local to the basin scale. I have currently the change of being a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Research Topics

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship
Lagrangian modeling of denitrification and nitrous oxide production in soils.

RW3D: Langrangian methods to simulate reactive transport in heterogeneous aquifers
Development of stable solutions for linear and non-linear reactive transport under complex (realistic) conditions.

Stochastic assessment of regional scale contamination of agricultural origin
Improve the management of groundwater quality following a non-point source contamination (nitrate, pesticide, …) by accounting for uncertainty associated to an imperfect representation of the aquifer.

Upscaling of transport for regional scale application
Development of numerical methods reproducing abnormal transport due to local heterogeneity in large scale models.

Probabilistic human health risk assessment
Application of stochastic theory to aquifer contamination leading to adverse effect on the human health.
