Biography

Master Degree in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies obtained at the Università Politecnica delle Marche on 14th July 2010, PhD in Food, Nutrition and Health obtained at the Università Politecnica delle Marche on 17th March 2015, possession of the Scientific Qualification for the functions of II level professor in the sector 07/B2 from 13th November 2020. Since 2015 I have been carrying out research activities at the Department of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences (acronym D3A) of the Università Politecnica delle Marche (acronym UNIVPM). The main objective of my research is to combine the knowledge on the management and evaluation of tree crops in the field, acquired during my university studies, with the enhancement of the sensory and nutritional quality of the fruits, through analytical and biochemical techniques learned in my period of doctorate. In my activity, the effect of genetic, environmental and agronomic factors on the productive, qualitative and nutritional characteristics of the fruits of different tree species (strawberry, blueberry, peach and cherry) was evaluated, through participation in various research projects, from regional to Europeans. Of particular importance was the activity carried out as part of the strawberry genetic improvement program including the study of the productive and nutritional characteristics of the fruit of progeny from interspecific crossing and subsequent back crossing.
