Over the past few years, I have developed a strong interest in designing sustainable and integrated processes for the extraction and purification of valuable compounds. I am driven by challenges, innovation, and transformation — motivations that have led me to study and work abroad, in collaboration with international universities.
My goal is to apply science to improve quality of life by creating more cost-effective and environmentally responsible separation technologies. Across all the processes I work with, a common thread is the use of eco-friendly solvents, including ionic liquids (ILs), deep eutectic solvents (DESs), biosolvents, and zwitterionic analogues of ILs (ZIs).
