Mathieu Renaud

Dr. Mathieu Renaud is a Researcher in soil ecotoxicology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), affiliated with the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC) and the Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics (IIE-GE). His work focuses on environmental risk assessment for soil ecosystems, particularly studying soil invertebrate community responses to contamination and developing methods like the Lab Bait Lamina test for ecotoxicological risk evaluation.

• PhD in Biological Sciences (University of Coimbra, Portugal)
• MSc in Ecology/Ecotoxicology (University of Coimbra, Portugal)
• BSc in Biology (University of Madeira, Portugal)

Mathieu Renaud specializes in terrestrial ecotoxicology, with projects addressing pesticide reduction in agricultural practices, organic waste risk assessment, and monitoring plant protection products in soils. His research integrates environmental risk modeling and soil health evaluation frameworks.

At EPFL's Ecotox Centre, Renaud organizes and implements soil ecotoxicology projects, designs continuing education courses, and collaborates with stakeholders on contamination impact analysis. His earlier work at the University of Coimbra included investigating metal mixture effects in soil and ecological relevance of toxicity assessments.
