Research interests

My research focuses on the diversification and optimization of processing, finishing, and preservation technologies for high-value food products derived from natural raw materials, as well as the development of novel food products and craft beverages-including fermented drinks and functional foods from natural ingredients. I am also engaged in the exploration and characterization of bioactive compounds of natural origin-including antibacterial and antioxidant agents, as well as modulators of multidrug resistance mechanisms in bacteria-and their potential applications in food and health sciences. In parallel, I investigate antibiotic resistance in bacteria isolated from food and environmental samples, contributing to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance within the One Health framework. Additionally, I apply metagenomics and metabolomics approaches to study plan microorganism interactions, with a view to understanding how microbial communities influence food quality, safety, and functionality.
