As a phytochemical engineer, I participate in research on the chemical diversity of tropical plants, particularly on lipid biosynthesis: triacylglycerols, waxes, lipid vitamins (carotenoids, tocochromanols), and secondary metabolites (diterpenes, methylxanthines, caffeine). I specialize in the development of analytical methods within the chemistry platform, which I coordinate and manage (website).
