Research

More than 20 years of expertise as reseachers in aerobiology, including 10 in UK: Development and application of numerical models, in particular trajectory- and particle dispersion models and in-line models that calculates both the weather and the release, transport and fate of airborne microorganisms. Development and application of detection techniques of airborne pollen and fungal spores using digital PCR and eDNA, complemented with AI applied on real-time data from multi-sensor instruments.

Teaching activities

Has been teaching the subjects meteorology, climate and air pollution at the undergraduate level. Has led two moules on the subject over a five year period.
