Research interests

Gabriel´s research focuses on environmental science and technology to solve chemical pollution, better understand and predict contaminant sorption and mobillity, and improve water treatment approaches. His work often involves carbonaceous materials such as biochar and pyrogenic carbon from fires. Ongoing research focuses on (i) biochar and wood-based activated carbon for sustainable contaminant removal, and (ii) mobility of ionic and ionizable organic contaminants, which is critical for assessing the emerging contaminant class of persistent mobile and toxic (PMT) substances, (iii) the science-policy interface on chemical pollution and (iv) post fire effects on carbon and contaminant dynamics.

Since March 2023 Gabriel is an Assistant Professor at Environmental Technology, Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands. He continues to be closely involved in research at EDGE.
