Post-doc researcher in the Research Unit of Analysis and Process Applied on the Environmental – APAE UR17ES32, Higher Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology Mahdia, University of Monastir, Monastir, Tunisia. The focal aims of my research activities are: (i) Biomonitoring of the quality of different water matrices (wastewater before and after treatment, surface water, river water, sea water, groundwater) using physico-chemical, analytical and toxicological approaches (ii) Wastewater biotreatment processes: Coagulation-Flocculation/ Biodegradation and Adsorption (iii) Food waste valorization in wastewater biotreatment
