Curriculum vitae

At Saint-Joseph University in Beirut, I earned a bachelor’s degree in Life and Earth Sciences – Biochemistry in 2017 and a master’s degree in Food Chemistry in 2019, with an experimental thesis entitled “Intensification of phenolic compound extraction during the winemaking process.”
During my work, I spent six months at the Department of Structure and Macromolecule Interactions working on my Master’s thesis under the supervision of Professor Richard Maroun, Professor Nicolas Louka, and Dr. Hiba N. Rajha.

I worked as a researcher in the divisions of Bioactive Molecules Characterization and Structure and Macromolecule Interactions on the Quality control of grapes and wines: testing the phenolic maturity of grapes from various parcels for many vineyards: KSARA and KEFRAYA, MUSE. In addition, I worked on the Detection of Mycotoxins (Ochratoxins and Aflatoxins) in batches of Wheat – Laboratory of Mycology and Food Security at Saint-Joseph University, Beirut.

I have been a PhD student in Life, Environmental, and Drug Sciences, working under Professor Maria Manconi’s supervision. I am presently working on a project titled Advanced strategies for developing health-promoting goods from grape byproducts.

My project has a joint supervision with Saint Joseph University of Beirut (Lebanon) co-supervisor Dr. Hiba Rajha.
