We study the interrelationships between soil physical, chemical and biological properties, and its impact on flow and transport in soil and root. We combine a variety of computational and experimental tools with a particular interest in geoelectrical methods to measure, monitor and map subsurface processes and properties. Currently, we centered around two research themes:

​

Soil-root interactions and its impact on water and nutrient uptake:

Under this theme, we seek to understand how roots affect the hydraulic properties of the soil, and how in turn this impact water and nutrient flow between the soil and the root.

​

Spectral induced polarization for environmental applications:

The idea here is to use the ability of the method to sense bulk and surface physicochemical properties of soils and to detect, in a non-invasive fashion environmental hazards and their remediation.
