PhD Supervisors Tormod Næs, Rasmus Bro and Ingrid Måge
Thesis’ project Multi-block analysis in the field of food science Joint project between the University of Copenhagen (Department of Food Science, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Rolighedsvej 30, DK-1958 Frederiksberg C, Denmark) and the Norwegian institute for research on food and fishery (NOFIMA) ( Nofima AS, Osloveien 1, P.O. Box 210, N-1431 Ås, Norway)
Topic of the PhD thesis
The PhD thesis is centered on method-development and method-testing in the multi-block field, with a specific focus on food analysis. The novel approaches are conceived to be suitable from both the prediction and the interpretation point of view. The proposed methods have been compared with other well-known methodologies used in the same field; all the discussed methods have been applied to simulated and real data. Three approaches have been proposed: one is a classification method obtained combining an existing multi-block regression method (Sequential and Orthogonalized-PLS) with the Linear Discriminant Analysis. The second is a multi-block regression methodology suitable for handling multi-way data sets and the third is multi-way and multi-block classifier. The main peculiarity of the last two is that they can handle multi-way data sets avoiding unfolding. All the methods have demonstrated to be particularly suitable from the interpretation point of view. Moreover, how to implement variable selection procedures in the creation of multi-block models has been investigated. Different procedures combining various multi-block and variable selection methods have been tested and discussed.

MSc
2011- 2013
MSc in Analytical Chemistry, University of Rome “La Sapienza” - Rome, Italy Thesis: ‘Multiplatform instrumental characterization coupled to chemometric data fusion protocols for the authentication of beer samples ’
Thesis’ Topic
Aim of the MSc reseach was to characterize and authenticate a high value-added artisanal beer brewed in central Italy (“Reale”) using a multi-instrument fingerprinting coupled to chemometrics. To do so, samples of “Reale” and of other competing and/or commercial beers have been collected and analyzed using thermogravimetry, UV-Visible spectrophotometry and mid- and near-infrared spectroscopies. Chemometric discriminant and modelling classification methods were applied at first on the individual data matrices and in a second stage to the whole set of data - testing different data fusion protocols – to build reliable traceability models.

BSc
2008-2011 BSc in Environmental Analytical Chemistry, University of Rome “La Sapienza” - Rome, Italy Thesis: ‘Spectroscopic methods coupled to mathematical processing for the analysis of food dyes in mixtures.
Thesis Topic This work has focused on the possibility of operating the quantitative determination of three synthetic dyes - Tartrazine (E102), Sunset Yellow (E110) and Red Ponceau 4R (E124) - in a mixture, in full respect of the principles of Green Analytical Chemistry. For this purpose, UV-Visible spectrophotometry was used, as it is a methodology in itself not destructive, which requires a small sample volume, and a not very laborious pretreatment, and that does not imply the use of reagents which are particularly harmful. In order to cope with the problems of spectral overlap, different mathematical methods that would allow the resolution a posteriori of the contributions of individual analytes, without resorting to steps of preliminary separation of constituents, were used: classical least squares, ratio spectra, ratio spectra derivative method, Zero-Crossing method and Double Divisor-ratio spectra derivative method.
