Born in Barcelona in 1987, I got the title of Senior Technician in Environmental Health in 2008 and in Environmental Chemistry in 2009. I am currently a Senior Technician hired in the Department of Environmental Chemistry inIDAEA-CSIC. The main line ofresearch focuses on the behaviour of emerging contaminants in different environmental matrices (water, soil, plant material ...).

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.
