What I'm looking for

I seek research roles bridging food science and data-driven nutraceutical discovery, in collaborative teams that value publication, innovation, and industry translation.

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Life Sciences with multidisciplinary expertise in nutraceutical properties of functional foods, combining big data analysis, in silico target fishing, and AI models to study extra virgin olive oil bioactives.

During my doctoral research I developed the Nutrafishing in silico target-fishing method and preparative isolation methods for EVOO bioactives, contributing to published articles in peer-reviewed journals and a funded collaborative project (NUTRAFISHING).

I complement my scientific training with business skills from an MBA in Leadership & Management, international research experience including a CNR internship, and strong publication record across food science and nutraceutical topics.
