Mónica was a student at the University of Girona in environmental sciences when she carried out a six months internship at the Université Laval (Québec) to validate her degree.

The project of Mónica was framed within the ongoing research titled "Risk-based design of wastewater treatment plants: Estimating the probability of compliance". She was in charge of developing a new model-based tool able to assess possible design of sizing of a plant configuration.
