About me
Ph.D. candidate with 3+ years of experience within the fermented foods–gut–human health axis at the University of Naples Federico II (UniNA), Department of Agricultural Sciences, Italy. The research focus of my activities is set on characterising fermented foods microbiome and its impact on the human gut through shotgun metagenomics, multi–omics integration, and explainable machine learning methods, to profile microbial functional potential able to ameliorate human health. During my doctoral project, I have also experienced project–management tasks such as planning, delivery, and reporting of scientific research projects.
During my Ph.D., I undertook a research period abroad at the Teagasc Food Research Centre, Moorepark, Fermoy, Ireland.
Parallel to my research activities, I serve as an academic tutor at the Penitentiary University Pole, contributing to educational initiatives within the correctional system.
During my M.Sc. in Agri-Environmental and Food Biotechnologies at UniNA, I completed traineeships in bioinformatics at Genomix4Life and in plant genomics at UniNA.
Prior to this, I earned a B.Sc. in Agri-Environmental and Forestry Sciences from UniNA.
