With a PhD in Biochemistry Food Physical Chemistry, I specialize in the study of food rheology texture, as well as processing methods. My research focuses on understanding and enhancing the physical and chemical characteristics of foods, particularly fruit purees, with the aim of driving innovation in the food industry. As a professor and researcher, I share my knowledge with students by teaching courses in biochemistry and food chemistry, helping them build expertise in food science and new processing technologies.
