Embedding Human Factors principles in best available technologies for Risk Assessment and critical task design review. One of my main tasks has been the new approaches implementation to facilitate the timely Risk Management, improving Health & Safety, Quality and Environmental management systems according to ISO guidelines, ensuring compliance to applicable regulatory standards and current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) procedures and practices.

Lead in driving and implementing new changes to Enterprise Risk Management practices in European organizations to deliver risk treatments and achieve legal compliance, in terms of input into process improvements, training, and procedure review. Implementation of the latest techniques of World Class Manufacturing. Supporting onsite technicians to enhance and optimise the output of the plants.

Line of research: Energetic and environmental process improvement strategies. Development of new catalytic materials to minimize emissions of noxious compounds from stationary sources. Optimization of chemical processes.

Industrial chemistry and process simulation (oil, gas and chemical industries, polymers), advanced process control, Environmental safety technique, Green chemical processing, Innovative process design, Catalysis in environment and energy in training.

Instrumental analysis, process control, design and optimization of chemical plants, principles of bioprocess and biomaterials.
