Biography
Agronomical engineering degree (specialist in Food Industries), Food Science and Technology degree and doctorate in Food Science and Technology at the Polythecnical University of Valencia, Spain (UPV) (European mention of PhD and extraordinary award; 2010). During this period, I did a pre-doctoral intership at the University of Bourgogne (France) working on the development of barrier and active edible films and coatings made of food hydrocolloids to enhance food quality and extend product shelf life. Thereafter, in 2010, I was granted with a postdoctoral contract at the UPV as a postdoctoral scientist. For almost two years, I was working on the development of edible films based on biodegradable materials. During this period, I did a postdoctoral stay at the University of Bourgogne working on the kinetics release of aroma compounds encapsulated into biodegradable films. In 2011
