Paola Bambina, PhD, is an Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) in Soil Science at the University of Palermo (Italy). She obtained her PhD in Agricultural, Food and Forest Sciences from the University of Palermo and holds a Master’s degree in Viticulture, Enology and Wine Markets from the Universities of Padua, Udine, Verona, and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. Her research focuses on the role of pedogenetic processes in shaping soil functional behaviour, with particular emphasis on soil–water interactions and their implications for plant performance, especially in viticultural systems. She applies spectroscopic techniques, including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and ATR–FTIR, to investigate the organization of functional domains in soils. She is a member of the Italian Society of Pedology (SIPE), the Italian Society of Soil Science (SISS), the European Society for Soil Conservation (ESSC), and the Society of International Terroir Experts (SITE). She received the Enoforum Award (2023) for her research on soil influence on wine composition, and her work has been featured as a cover article in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
