My research focuse on food processing technologies, freeze-drying (lyophilization), encapsulation methods, and the development of functional foods.

In my academic work, I concentrate on the sustainable extraction of bioactive compounds from fruit, vegetable, and plant-based waste, as well as integrating these compounds into functional food products. Recent projects I have undertaken include [you can provide examples, e.g., "optimizing encapsulation techniques to create stable biocapsules" or "investigating the preservation of proteins and antioxidants through freeze-drying".

My primary goal is to innovate within food processing technologies and contribute to the design of healthy and functional food products. Through interdisciplinary collaborations, I aim to develop solutions that make future food systems more sustainable and nutritious.

Being part of an international working group focused on Future Foods represents an invaluable opportunity for knowledge exchange and collaborative project development. I am confident that my expertise in modern techniques such as freeze-drying and encapsulation will contribute meaningfully to the group's objectives. I look forward to working with you to shape the future of food systems.

Best regards
