His main research focuses on the study of nitro-oxidative signaling cacades involved in plants' responses to stress factors, with special emphasis on the development of chemical, biological and nanotechnological priming technologies to mitigate abiotic stress factors and promote plant growth. In addition, he investigates plant secondary metabolism and antioxidant responses in fruit crops during ripening. He has been assigned to evaluate research proposals from different countries (France, Belgium, Poland, Chile, Latvia, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Israel, Qatar, Austria, Cyprus, and Denmark), as well as EU proposals (EUROSTARS). He is an active Review Panel Member for COST Actions (EU) in the field of natural sciences.
