Biography

My research focuses on biomass valorization and biorefinery strategies to develop sustainable solutions for industrial applications. I specialized in extracting and transforming bio-based compounds from agricultural and industrial waste using innovative approaches such as NADES-based extraction and microbial fermentation. My work integrates computational and experimental methods to optimize bioprocesses, including enzymatic strategies for lignocellulose breakdown and the production of bio-based materials. Additionally, I apply molecular docking simulations to understand enzyme-substrate interactions, supporting the design of efficient biocatalytic processes. My ultimate goal is to advance circular economy principles by creating high-value products from renewable resources.
