Project MicroBaux Presented at the MITI Journée de Restitution 2025
On the 13th of January 2025 I participated in the CNRS MITI - Pollution et Dépollution Journée de Restitution to present the first year of our project MicroBaux - Clean Extraction of Iron from Bauxites with Microbial Fuel Cells. I was happy to see a lot of interest in our work!

Chargé de Recherche/Assistant Professor CNRS
I am a Chargé de Recherche (Assistant Professor) based at the Institut des Sciences Chimiques de Rennes, France. My research focuses on the areas of nanomaterial electrochemistry, bioelectrochemistry and interfacial science for energy applications. I previously worked as a Marie Curie fellow (Université de Rennes) and postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for BioNano Interactions (CBNI) in the School of Chemistry, University College Dublin and as a postdoc and lecturer in Trinity College Dublin where I completed my PhD in physical chemistry with a focus on electrochemical and spectroscopic characterisation of nitrogenated carbon materials. I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry at Trinity in 2014, when I graduated at the top of my class.
