More information about Elise Blondel

She has a great passion for the ocean which is why she oriented her studies, PhD and post-doctoral research around water and ocean waves. Before she joined the hub, she worked for almost 9 years in the offshore industry, of which the last 5 years were dedicated to the development of technology to track and retrieve plastics from rivers before they reach and contaminate our oceans. She also investigated processes to recycle riverine (plastic) litter in a sustainable way.

Working together is key to a sustainable development of our society. Do not hesitate to contact her if you have an idea for our hub or a question regarding our activities.
