Samuel Álvarez García

Samuel Álvarez García is a researcher affiliated with both Universidad de León and Marche Polytechnic University, focusing on plant-microbe interactions and sustainable agriculture. His work centers on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their applications in biological control of plant diseases and pests.

• Ph.D. in Plant Physiology (2021, Universidad de León)
• Member of GUIAS INGENIERÍA Y AGRICULTURA SOSTENIBLE research group
• Specialized in in vitro assays, GC-MS analysis, and biocontrol agent development

His research spans Plant Physiology, Biotechnology, and Sustainable Agriculture, with particular emphasis on:

• Antifungal properties of microbial VOCs
• Biological control of postharvest pathogens
• Entomological applications of natural compounds
• Development of standardized microbiological testing devices

Publications demonstrate consistent output in VOC-mediated plant protection, Trichoderma applications, and non-chemical pest control over 6+ years. Collaborations with researchers across Spain and Italy indicate international scientific networking.

Technical expertise includes laboratory device development, fungal metabolite characterization, and plant-insect interaction assays.
