Researcher at the ENEA Biotechnology and Agroindustry Division, she conducts R&D activities on Reference Materials and Methods; measurement uncertainty; food quality, safety and traceability; sustainability of agrifood systems; chemical risk assessment. She is the Coordinator of the Research Infrastructure METROFOOD-RI – Infrastructure for Promoting Metrology in Food and Nutrition, included in the ESFRI Roadmap for the Domain Health and Food, and of the related NRRP project METROFOOD-IT for the consolidation of the infrastructure’s national node. Scientific Secretary of the IMEKO TC23 Metrology in Food and Nutrition, she is engaged as PI for ENEA in several national and European ongoing projects, such as the currently ongoing HEu AgroServ, FHERITALE, EOSC-Beyond and DGR4Food. 

Permanent Researcher at the Research Institute on Terrestrial Ecosystems, part of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR). He earned his Ph.D. in Agrobiotechnology for Tropical Production from the University of Florence. His research is primarily dedicated to plant science, with a particular focus on plant physiology, terahertz (THz) imaging in plants, and plant bioacoustics. He has authored numerous scientific publications at both national and international levels and holds a patent for an innovative technology enabling non-invasive measurement of plant physiological parameters. He is a Corresponding Member of the Italian Academy of Forest Sciences, based in Florence, Italy. For the latest updates, visit: https://paganomario.blogspot.com.

Gabriele Lombardi is a PhD student within the METROFOOD-IT project at the Department of Environmental Biology, Sapienza University of Rome. He holds a Master’s degree in Food Science and Technology and a Bachelor’s degree in Viticulture and Enology. His research focuses on the application of chemometrics to NIR spectroscopy for the characterization of agrifood products, aiming at rapid and reliable assessment of quality and authentication. He is actively involved in METROFOOD-IT, a project dedicated to strengthening the Italian Research Infrastructure for Metrology and Open Access Data in support of the agrifood sector. Recently, he presented his work at the Symposium of Young Chemometricians and the METROFOOD-IT summer school in Sangemini, and published an article in Food Chemistry (IF: 8.2).

Nicolò Riboni is researcher at the University of Parma (Parma, Italy), Department of Chemistry, Life Sciences and Environmental Sustainability. Born in 1989, he obtained a PhD in material science in 2018 at the University of Parma and a PhD in Analytical Chemistry in 2019 at the Stockholm University (Stockholm, Sweden). The main research interests are the development of novel materials for sample pretreatments, data analysis, and the development of analytical methods for the analysis of targeted compounds at ultra-trace levels. Recently, he also focused on untargeted metabolomics and imaging techniques.
