Biography

Professor in food microbiology holding a PhD degree in Microbiology for Oregon State University (USA) food preservation.His research work is focused on the detection and control of the pathogen of concern to food safety including Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella, and the means to control them in foods, where he made many contributions in the form of published in leading journals in the topic and participated in colloquies and seminars.
