In 2017 I graduated in Industrial Chemistry and immediately started my Ph.D. Program in Chemical Engineering, at La Sapienza (Rome). The Doctoral thesis is focused on the study of reactive and "low-cost" materials derived from thermal treatment of biomass, i.e. Biochar, to be applied in the remediation of groundwater contaminated by a wide range of contaminants. The adsorbent capacity of Biochar is also evaluated combined with bioremediation technologies. The research line also involves the study of alternative materials to support biological remediation, such as bio-polymers as possible electron donors, e.g. Polyhodroxyalchanoates (PHA).
