Biography

I am an Environmental microbiologist. My major interests include the study of microbial processes as well as the application of novel techniques/analysis to quantify and monitor the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) diffusion in diverse ecosystems (water, soil, atmosphere) being one of the largest health-related issues. The development of novel workflow of methods to set the bases for new strategy limit or prevent AMR dispersion and accumulation in one of my major goal.
