Summary

Chemist with a master in Analytical Chemistry by Universitat de Barcelona. My thesis is focused on (bio)microplastics and related compounds (additive plastics). So, my main goals are:

  • Develop screening workflows, database and quantitative analytical approaches based on GC-HRMS or LC-HRMS to asses the profile of bioplastics composition.
  • Assess bioplastic bioremediation processes for safe elimination of biomicro and nanoplastics
  • Assess the occurrence in marine environments of bioplastics with special emphasis on remote environments and the deep ocean
  • Investigation of adverse effects of bioplastics and related compounds on biota.
  • Evaluate the fate, behavior and adverse effects of bioplastic residues on the environment and marine biota under climate change conditions.
