About
With a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and an Erasmus Mundus Master’s in Sustainable Biomass and Bioproducts Engineering, I bring an interdisciplinary approach to biomass valorization. My expertise spans phytochemical extraction for the green synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles, their application as photocatalysts, and the development of lignin-based polymers as sustainable wood adhesives. As an MSCA Doctoral Candidate for DESTINY, my studies are conducted at UEF and at UNIBO. My research focuses on the holistic utilization of industrial hemp varieties across the EU. My first article explores the slow pyrolysis of industrially relevant hemp residues, aiming to extract, isolate, and purify phenolic compounds for use in the development of functional coatings.
