Furthermore, my current scientific interest is also centered around recovery strategies for rare and critical elements from various waste residues (slags, ashes, mattes, batteries). Overall, my research interest in bioremediation refers to: metallic pollution, soil microbial organisms, root exudates, bioremediation techniques (including phytoremediation,) and soil properties that are directly related to weathering processes. I execute various toxicity tests (mainly with plants) and I am strongly engaged in the topic of phytoremediation: the search for efficient plants as well as suitable conditions for the ”rehabilitation” of polluted soils in the vicinity of former industrial centers. I evaluate the impact(s) of soil microbial organisms (originating from contaminated soils and uncontaminated soils,) root exudates, soil organic matter on bioweathering of minerals and their synthetic Towards these ends, I perform laboratory simulations demonstrating interactions of industrial wastes with soil and vegetation cover. The presence of such contaminated sites, with a lack of proper impermeable barriers designed to prevent metal migration, may require remediation actions be taken in order to avoid further contamination. Of my particular interest is the geochemical stability of metal-laden industrial wastes disposed of long ago without the appropriate environmental oversight. I mainly address the problem of environmental contamination by metallic pollutants at sites impacted by industrial activity. The research subject undertaken in the frame of my scientific activity remains at the forefront of many disciplines: geochemistry, mineralogy, soil science and microbiology. My research interests focus on the following subjects related to environmental sciences: metallurgical slags, sandstones, metal-bearing rocks, microbial-mineral interactions, bio-weathering processes, metal mobility in the environment, the use of mineral wastes in chemical and biological technologies for metal recovery.
