Development and scale-up of chemical engineering processes for the production/valorisation of sustainable products and materials and technology transfer;
Integration of environmental protection technologies, and technologies for the valorisation of bio-based residues into energy applications towards a sustainable industrial development;
Development of functional, hybrid, responsive and bio-based materials for textile, footwear, energy, agro-food, cosmetic, biomedical and environmental protection applications;
Application of thermodynamic models to predict the composition of relevant matrices in multi-phasic separation/reaction systems and to optimize extraction processes;
Development of methodologies to stabilize and enable incorporation of functional extracts/compounds and achieve sustained release in applications like agro-food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics or nutraceuticals;
Development of electrochemical sensor technology (e.g. electronic tongues and aptasensors) for application in food science.
