Biography
Dr. Roberto Altiri is currently working as Researcher at Institute for Agriculture and Forest Systems in the Mediterranean (ISAFOM), National Research Council (CNR), Perugia, Italy. He obtained his PhD in Agriculture Chemistry from University of Bari, Italy. His employment history includes Professional activity as Agronomist, and Teaching Natural Science, Chemistry and Geography for over 7 years in several Italian High Schools. His current research focus on the management of solid and liquid waste streams from olive oil extraction process by bioremediation technologies. He worked on several research projects and also participated in international research project. He is member of the Regional (Umbria, Italy) Panel of Tasters of Virgin and Extra Virgin Olive Oil, several panel of examiners by the National Research Council, and member of panel of examiners by the University of Teramo, Italy. He also invited to give three lecturers by the University of Teramo, Italy, and also invited for keynote lectures in several national and international conferences or seminars on olive mill waste management. He has published (22) articles in referred and international referred journals, (6) books & book chapters and (53) conference proceedings as author/co-author.
