Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am a professor of environmental geochemistry (France), holding a PhD in environmental chemistry and with over 20 years of experience in soil and water contamination, trace element dynamics, and environmental risk assessment.

I have held research positions at Lancaster University (UK) and the Bureau of Geological and Mining Research (BRGM); I currently work at the University of Orléans, specializing in real environmental systems and contaminated sites. I provide expert services in environmental risk assessment and contamination analysis for complex soil-water systems.

What I help my clients achieve

I support companies, researchers, and institutions in the following areas:

Assessment of soil and water contamination (heavy metals, trace elements, pollutants)

Understanding mobility, bioavailability, and environmental risks

Design of remediation and restoration strategies

Assessment of impacts on agriculture, ecosystems, and food security

Writing scientifically rigorous reports for decision-making and compliance

What I can do for you:

Scientific writing and editing

Research articles (top-tier journals)

Literature reviews

Thesis and dissertation review

Environmental consulting

Soil contamination assessment (heavy metals, PAHs)

Phytoremediation strategies

Environmental risk assessment

Data analysis

EDUCATION AND E-LEARNING
September 2006 - Today (19 years and 9 months)
Orléans, France
I teach geology, applied geochemistry, geochemical modeling, soil science, and the diagnosis and management of polluted sites and soils within the Civil Engineering and Geo-Environment specialization.
I conduct research in fundamental environmental biogeochemistry and mineralogy of trace elements, action research in agroecology, and applied research on the ecological restoration of contaminated environments. I am the author or co-author of nearly 130 articles published in international scientific journals and over 180 communications at national and international scientific congresses.

RESEARCH
September 1999 - April 2002 (2 years and 7 months)
Lancaster, United Kingdom
My research focused on the biogeochemistry of trace elements in surface environments (surface waters and sediments), the speciation of metallic elements, and the geochemistry of hydrosystems. I successfully completed two NERC-funded projects on the biogeochemistry of trace elements in surface waters and a project funded by RIZA (Dutch Environmental Agency) on the bioavailability of metallic contaminants in estuarine sediments.
