Colloidal systems, adsorbents, nanocellulose, agro-waste valorization, sustainable packaging, biodegradable materials, emulsion stabilization, soil water retention
Expert in food and chemical engineering with specialization in surface chemistry, colloidal systems, and bio-based material development. Research focuses on:
• Extraction and use of nanocellulose (CNC) from agro-waste for biodegradable packaging and food-grade emulsion systems
• Development of sustainable materials from agricultural by-products
• Design of superabsorbent hydrogel beads reinforced with agro-waste-derived nanoparticles for soil water retention
• Integration of food science and material chemistry to support circular economy and climate adaptation in agri-food systems
Open to joining PRIMA 2025 proposals as a task partner in the following areas:
• Agro-waste valorization into high-performance functional materials
• Sustainable food packaging technologies
• Nanostructured systems for colloidal and interfacial control in food and environmental applications
• Nature-based water and soil management strategies
