I am currently at the end of my third year of my PhD at Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Saint-Etienne. I am working on biodeterioration of cementeous matrix by fungi. My main aim is to developp an accelerated laboratory test to study biodeterioration mechanisms in laboratory. I am writting up at the moment, and I am looking for a Postdoctoral position in the field of biodeteriroation and conservation of cultural heritage. |
