Research Intersts: I am working on utilization of biomolecules for future innovations and developments in the field of biomaterials including essential oils and biofuels. My research interests mainly concerns the chemical investigation of plant essential oils, extracts, in order to analysis of phytomedicines and standardization of active compounds, and also for the determination of organic contaminants (mainly pesticides). Another goal is the study of ‘functional foods’ and the investigation of their bioactive compounds (antioxidants). The species investigated into these research lines are mainly medicinal and food plants, in order to obtain chemical data that may be helpful to the development of analytical methods. Optimized experimental approaches have been developed to the evaluation of different interaction aspects between bioactive natural small molecules and target actions involved in curing various diseases. Moreover, research on all generation biofuels in also undergoing under my supervision using some novel methodologies.
