After receiving a MD in Agricultural Sciences and a PhD in
related disciplines, he has been involved in research
activities centered on environmental factors and practical
application of Agronomy and crop managements. Starting with
studying the environmental fate of pesticides, his research is now
mainly focused on the use of bioplastic materials in agriculture
and on the development of novel bioplastic-based applications.
His research is documented by 40 articles on peer-reviewed
journals and 5 patents.
