He was previously a Post-Doc Researcher at The Catalan Institute for Water Research, working on monitoring health status (consumption of pharmaceuticals & illicit drugs, COVID-19, etc.) in intra-urban communities through wastewater-based epidemiology. He defended his Ph. D. from the University of Salerno in December 2019, with a project on antibiotic resistance mitigation on wastewater reuse in agricultural irrigation. Ian also holds a M.
