Research Interest and expertise in the field of nutraceuticals and functional food
Researcher, 10+ years experience in olfactory assessment and link between smell and Autonomic Nervous System to characterize intrinsical responses to olfactory stimuli, linked to emotions, with respect to specific categories of compounds, such as foods. Such approach can be translated into agrifood and agritech sciences, as well as to life sciences, particularly to investigate about food-related therapeutic approaches for eating disorders or disturbances linked with an abnormal nutrients supply.
