Short presentation
My research primarily focuses on investigating the toxic effects, underlying mechanisms, and potential health risks associated with various airborne particles. Current projects include studies on nanoparticles from transportation, particles generated during welding and 3D printing, as well as nano- and microplastics.
I also work on modeling particle behavior in the lungs, exposure at the air-liquid interface, and the assessment of skin-sensitizing properties of chemicals.
