Research interests

For the last 10 years Ihave been implementing a research strategy that focuses on the economic exploitation of food chain biomass by characterising the molecular and polymeric structural (cell wall) components and developing ip-novel approaches for their disassembly, modification and exploitation. this was initiated by research into the exploitation of food-processing waste co-products, and has led to the formation of the "sustainability of the food chain exploitation platform" at the ifr. Current research interests include development of biofuels from food chain waste biomass, therefore avoiding a conflict with food production.
