organic contaminants in the environment and engineered ecosystems. He was editor of the Analytical Chemistry A pages (2003-2005) and member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Environmental Chemistry. His h index (without self-citations) is 63 with 320 publications (Scopus).
NATURE
Nature-based solutions to reduce antibiotics, pathogens, and antimicrobial resistance in aquatic ecosystems
An array of nature-based solutions including conventional and high-end constructed wetlands, river re-naturalization, and restoration of wetlands will cover the continuum from urban sources to coastal biota in estuaries. We propose a comprehensive quantification of the fate of antibiotics, pathogens, and antimicrobial resistance in these systems together with ecotoxicological and human health assessments. Nature-based solutions performance will be analyzed using multivariate modeling techniques to identify parameters with the greatest empirical influence on the attenuation of targeted pollutants.

DSWAP
Decision support-based approach for sustainable water reuse application in agricultural production (DSWAP)
The main goal of DSWAP is to develop modular cost- and energy-efficient wastewater treatment systems. By adopting a circular economy approach, it aims for safe and sustainable valorization of wastewater for irrigation, with minimized ecological and agronomic impacts.

LIFESpot
Green solutions for treating groundwater pollution to meet drinking water directive standards
The main objective of LIFE SPOT is to develop a new treatment process able to remove nitrates and micropollutants from polluted groundwater to produce drinking water of
good quality that meets the Directive 98/83/EC requirements. This will be applied in rural areas (50 inhabitants or <10m3/d, very small water supplies (VSWS)) of the
Mediterranean region, promoting the sustainability and resilience of rural areas, agriculture and tourism sectors.
