Postdoctoral researcher

Ph.D. in Marine Sciences, 2022, University of Cádiz

Research Interests:

In our lab I study microbe-metal interactions in acid mine drainage (AMD) environments. We study the mechanisms involved in microbe-mediated metal nanoparticle formation, and its application for metal recovery and recycling. After doing my PhD (2017-2022) at the Laboratory of Microbiology of Wageningen University (The Netherlands) on bioremediation of metal-containing wastestreams such as AMD, it is great to now work just a few hours’ drive away from the Rio Tinto basin, one of the world’s most famous acid drainage impacted areas.
