2. When did you arrive in Luxembourg?

January 2019.

3. What type of research are you involved in? Can you tell us a bit about your work.

Rivers carry not only water but also sediments. These sediments are responsible for river morphology and determine the water quality of the river, because they carry contaminants and organics along with them. I am trying to understand the complex  behaviour of sediment transport.
