He has continued to work at the University of Napoli "Federico II" as Assistant Professor for 9 years.

Suddenly he moved to the Nederland, the first time as Assistant Professor in Microalgal Biorefinery at BPE group in WUR in 2013 and then as full-time lecturer in Bioprocess Engineering.

Before deeply diving in teaching, his research interests were in the application of Bioprocess Engineering Fundamentals to design new industrial process and to develop novel and biobased product.

In his free-time, Giuseppe tries to play piano, maybe because he loves classical music... but he has still to obtain satisfacting results. Giuseppe has also a very good knowledge and passion for the history of cinema.
