Organization and management of all day-to-day technical activities related to breeding programs aimed at the development of new competitive tomato hybrids for the Italian and European fresh market, coordinating and relating myself with the farm business and R&D department staff.- Coordinate and supervise nursery activities, transplanting, crop maintenance activities, selected plants harvesting and seed extraction. Data collected, recorded and released to the breeder.- Preparation of seeding fields for the breeding, selection, and screening trials located across Italy in the areas of Fidenza, Verona, Cesenatico, Sicily and Spain.- Organizing any necessary to perform an appropriate tissue sampling for Marker Assisted Selection. Responsible for processing data in the pre-planting genotypic selection.- Collaboration with the breeder in the design and planning of new cross combinations for new hybrids seed production.- Technical support as part of the breeding team for the execution of crosses activities by hand pollination: new F1 crossing block, back cross and development cross projects.- Responsible for the breeding data collection, processed and delivered for the data analysis with the breeder.- Participating in the selections trials along with the breeder, by selecting for desirable traits from populations through a detailed phenotypic analysis and using molecular markers to aid in selection in detecting the resistent lines to the most problematic diseases.

The research project focused on georeferenced phenotypic data collection related to morphological and physiological traits such as plant height, LAI index, IR canopy temperature and flowering date, enabling to make up a high-throughput sampling.This was accomplished by mean of an RTK-GPS station located in the middle of the experimental field and cutting-edge sensors placed on a homemade pheno-cart crossing the field trials.Processing and data statistical analysis by mean the use of dedicated software such as R in order to conduct an accurate QTL analysis aimed to detect QTLs affecting the components of yield.Carrying out of post-harvest tasks inside the laboratory such as milling, seed counting and scanning to lead research studies for rheological properties on winter wheat crop.

The activity focused on the preparation and management of greenhouses for the sale of nursery plants, especially ornamental, officinal and vegetables purchased both by third parties and reproduced inside their company. Moreover, I carry out recreational activities at their didactic farm towards kindergarten and elementary schools' kids.
