I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences at Marche Polytechnic University (Italy), specializing in strawberry breeding, fruit quality, and nutritional characterization. My research focuses on the development of resilient and high-quality fruit cultivars adapted to changing environmental conditions and sustainable production systems. My work integrates plant breeding, phenotypic evaluation, and advanced analytical techniques, including HPLC, UPLC, and gas chromatography, to investigate primary and secondary metabolites, vitamins, antioxidants, and other bioactive compounds in horticultural crops. I am particularly interested in the genetic and environmental factors influencing fruit nutritional quality, postharvest performance, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Currently, I am involved in national and European research projects focused on strawberry genetic improvement, cultivars with improved nutritional quality, and sustainable horticultural production. My broader academic interests include horticultural science, plant genetics, crop improvement, metabolomics, functional foods, and climate-resilient agriculture.
