Ph.D. candidate, Department of Earth Surface Dynamics, UNIL
About me
I am an environmental engineer, deeply interested in hydrological modeling. My work aims to improving our understanding of the links between water transit times and water quality in catchments.
Research interests
- water age and transit times
- solute transport in catchments
- streamwater sampling
- Chamberonne watershed
Education
2020 – 2023, MSc, Environmental Sciences and Engineering, specialization in water, soil and ecosystems engineering, EPFL, Switzerland
2017 – 2020, BSc, Environmental Sciences and Engineering, EPFL, Switzerland
