Junior Researcher in the Sustainability and Valorisation Area, in the Packaging Department of SSICA since 2012. Graduated in Chemistry at the University of Modena, I study and work in the field of the valorization of agro-industrial food wastes for packaging applications. I have followed different European projects concerning bio-based coating, extraction of bioactive molecules from agro-industrial food wastes and development of edible films and coating for food packaging. Together with R&D activity, I carry out also analysis and support service for institutional activities (specifically Headspace Composition Determination of Rigid and Flexible Packages by means of GC-MS and Determination of Metal Content in Foods by means of ICP-OES and ICP-MS)
