- 2020-2023: PhD course in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Science, University of Catania (grant funded by the National Operative Program (PON) “Research and Innovation” 2014-2020, line “Innovative doctorates with industrial characterization”). Research project: “Green solutions and innovative technologies for post-harvest management and safety of food products of the organic and zero-residue citrus production chain”. The aim of the PhD project is to identify non-toxic green substances for the protection of citrus fruits from post-harvest rots caused by species of Penicillium, Phytophthora etc. The project has also the aims to develop a pratical and economic molecular method based on a new technology for in-situ and rapid diagnosis of plant pathogens to determine the presence of mycotoxins in fresh citrus fruits and processed products.
