Research Lines

  • Applications in Food Metabolomics (mostly, but not exclusively, focusing on olive tree derived matrices and avocado):
    • Characterization and authentication of food and plant extracts.
    • Evaluation of agro-technological parameters.
    • Selective isolation of relevant compounds to test (bio)activity.
    • Bioavailability studies / Simulated digestion.
  • Applications in Optical Sensors and Nanomaterials:
    • Smart materials for selective extraction and optical sensing (mostly MIPs, polymer particles and non-woven mats).
    • Implementation of telecommunication tools to amplify the sensitivity and selectivity of optical measurements.
    • Incorporation of luminescent properties in materials for theragnostic.
    • Smart materials and (bio)sensors for microbioreactors.
