FEDERICA CAMIN
She is currently the head of the ‘Stable Isotope and Traceability’ unit in Fondazione Edmund Mach. Her main areas of research concern the application of stable isotope ratio analysis of bio-elements to food, aimed at characterising geographical origin and controlling and protecting quality and authenticity. She has been involved in several projects funded by European agencies (currently the FOOD INTEGRITY FP7 and the MASSTWIN H2020) and by national (recently AGER ENOLOGIA), regional and private agencies. She is the scientific coordinator of the Italian wine isotopic data bank (EC Reg. 555/2008; from 2007) and the coordinator of the Stable Isotope Italian group. She is the author of over 100 scientific papers (76 in WEB OF SCIENCE with 996 citations and h index of 17) and over 100 communications at national and international conferences.
