Professional Activities
Member of: American Society of Microbiology, Institute of Food Technologists, American Society for Enology and Viticulture.

Research Interests
Research is focused in the areas of food preservation, food safety, and food and beverage fermentation. Current investigations encode:

1. Non-thermal technologies for prophylactic and intervention approaches to assure the safety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
   
2. Protein-based antimicrobials to achieve biological stability in food and beverages
   
3. Antimicrobial activity associated with plant derived compounds
