Conducted research on the current state of microplastic pollution in the Mediterranean Sea to support development of a microplastic capture prototype Member of the R&D team working on solutions to capture microplastics from seawater. Contributed to development of a prototype system designed to collect microplastics.

Investigated adsorption and desorption of phthalates from microplastics in synthetic lung fluid Studied interactions between environmental contaminants and biological systems using analytical techniques

Investigated the stability of salivary biomarkers under varying environmental conditions to validate a novel, non-invasive method for diagnosing vitamin deficiency. Conducted complex biomolecular and analytical laboratory assays on human clinical samples to evaluate salivary biomarkers as a novel non-invasive diagnostic approach for vitamin deficiency detection.

Reviewed and verified documentation for exchange programs Coordinated student mobility programs and international information sessions Supported international collaboration and administrative processes

Supported coordination and verification processes for international academic exchange programs.

Developed new approaches for recycling plastic waste using ionic liquid green solvents Conducted laboratory experiments on sustainable materials and chemical processes

Developed an innovative and sustainable plastic recycling methodology using ionic liquid green solvents in a previously unexplored application for PET waste recovery. Achieved a 98% PET recycling yield through laboratory experimentation, polymer degradation analysis, and sustainability-focused materials research.
