About me
I graduated from AgroParisTech, the Paris Institute of Technology for Life, Food, and Environmental Sciences, with a Master Degree in Environmental Sciences, specialised in environmental toxicology in 2019. I worked at the European Chemicals Agency (2019-2020) in the Risk Management Unit on issues related to the substitution of the substances of very high concern covered by the REACH Authorisation process. I hold a PhD in Environmental Sciences from Stockholm University focusing on the implementation of the "Essential-Use" concept to manage the most harmful chemicals. I am now continuing this research as a postdoctoral researcher.
I am contributing to the course "Risk Assessment and Regulation of Chemicals".
My research focuses on investigating novel methods to manage the risks posed by harmful chemical substances. More specifically, I am evaluating how the "Essential-Use" concept could be implemented in chemical regualtions to guide decision-making to phase-out the most harmful chemicals. I am also interested in developing new methods to evaluate and compare alternatives to a substance of concern to prevent regrettable substitution.
I am part of the European project ZeroPM since 2021.
