Our research group (ENCL) information (PDF)

  • Chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and mechanisms of environmental interfacial reactions.

  • Reactions at dynamic water-mineral interfaces: dissolution/precipitation, adsorption/desorption, passivation/activation, relaxation/reconstruction, and reduction/oxidation.

  • Scaling up from microscopic to macroscopic observations in aqueous systems.

  • Development of new environmental catalysts for remediating contaminated water and soils.

  • A more comprehensive analysis of the risks associated with CO2 sequestration strategies related to climate changes.

  • Heavy metal adsorption and incorporation to manganese (hydr)oxides.

  • Structure and reactivity of iron and manganese oxide nanoparticles in aqueous systems.

  • Mechanisms of oxide film growth at nanoscale in aqueous systems.

  • Structure and reactivity of oxide thin films on mineral surfaces.

  • Effects of organic compounds and microbial biofilm on mineral dissolution/precipitation.

  • Biomineralization and bio-inspired chemistry.
