ORCHID profile :
2. Research topics
- Biodegradability of organic matter.
- Development of predictive models for organic matter in aquatic environments along the Seine axis, up-stream and downstream of the Parisian agglomeration.
- Study of the organic matter spatio-temporal dynamics in the Seine watershed.
3. Research in progress
Title of my PhD thesis: “In situ and high frequency characterization of dissolved organic matter and its bio-degradability in aquatic environments by fluorescence spectroscopy”.
PhD Advisor : Gilles Varrault
PhD co-advisor: Angélique Goffin
This thesis is part of a research program of the SIAAP: the MeSeine Innovation program
The main objectives of my PhD thesis are to:
- Quantify the biodegradability of organic matter present in different types of water near the Parisian agglomeration, especially in urban discharges during rainy weather.
- Develop fluorescence spectroscopy as an innovative metrology method for organic matter in aquatic environments. This approach is based in particular on the deployment of the FLUOCOPEE probe, which makes it possible to study the fluorescence of organic matter in situ.
The results of these first two projects will contribute to research aimed at improving our understanding of biogeochemical processes related to organic matter in the Seine watershed.
4. Current teaching
- At the IUT of Sénart Fontainebleau:
- Laboratory work during the 2nd year of the BUT-SEE course
