Biography

My research focuses on reconstructing the pollution history of a specific area through tree-ring analyses, i.e., analyzing the chemical composition of tree rings (dendrochemistry) and relate that to pollution data or known sources. I am also interested in understanding the mechanisms of uptake and translocation of nanoparticles in trees. The goal is to work with industry and regulators to develop efficient strategies to cope with pollution and improve air quality of urban areas.
