Research interests
As part of the project "Use and management of finest particulate anthropogenic material flows in a sustainable circular economy – FINEST" (2022-2027) funded by the Helmholtz Association (Helmholtz Sustainability Challenge), I am investigating the degradation and removal of plastic polymers and their additives by fungi. FINEST.
