    Research Interests and Expertise

    • Atomistic computational modeling of interfacial and confined fluids in clay, cement, and other nano-strucutred materials
    • Environmental materials chemistry: geological nuclear waste disposal, carbon sequestration, shale gas exploration, soil organic matter
    • Structure and properties of supercritical aqueous fluids; supercritical fluid technologies

    Our team's current research is primarily supported by industrial funding from ANDRA, EDF, EDF Foundation, and ORANO in the framework of the IMTA Industrial Chair "Storage and Disposal of Radioactive Waste". We are also partners in the European research consortia ShaleXenvironmenT (SXT) and Science for Clean Energy (S4CE) - two multi-national and multi-disciplinary projects focused on comprehensive science-based assessments of the potential environmental footprints of shale gas exploitation and geological carbon sequestration in Europe.

    In addition, we contribute to other research projects of the Radiochemistry Group at Subatech.

    Before that, in the USA my research projects were mostly supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Division of Chemical Sciences, Geosciences, and Biosciences (1999-2010), and also by the NSF Science and Technology Center of Advanced Materials for Water Purification (WaterCAMWPS) (2002-2007), and the interdisciplinary Center for Advanced Cement-Based Materials (1998-2005).
