An agronomist from Gembloux University (Belgium), I joined INRA in 1988 as director of the Soil Analysis Laboratory in Arras. This 40 person unit carries out analyses of rocks, soils and solutions for the researchers of the Institute and for external clients.
Apart from the management of the laboratory, I carried out methodological researches concerning soil quality assessment, particularly the evaluation of contaminations with trace elements. This led me to investigate on the pedo-geochemical background and the availability of trace elements. I initiated and coordinated the pedo-geochemical survey of the Nord – Pas de Calais region. I also contributed to the development of chemical and isotopic methods for the assessment of trace element availability.
In 2000, I joined the Laboratory of Soil and Environmental Sciences to continue my research and prepare a PhD thesis that I defended in 2004 and an accreditation to supervise research (HDR) that I obtained in 2008. I was leader of the team "Phytoremediation of contaminated soils" from 2006 to 2012.
