Description research

Multivariable analysis of spectroscopic data

My major research interest is focused on multivariate analysis data from fast analytical technologies like NIR, Raman, FTIR, and NIR Chemical Imaging spectroscopies. Topics under study are the application of these techniques to the development of fast methods for analytical control in several industrial fields (pharmaceutical, phytotherapy, petrochemicals, industrial products etc.) with special attention to agri-food analysis by NIR applying multivariate calibration techniques.
