*Roberta Paradiso is Associate Professor of Horticulture at the Department
of Agricultural Sciences, University of  Naples Federico II (Naples,
Italy). *

*Her research activity is related to eco-physiology of vegetable and flower
crops, soilless cultures (hydrological properties of substrates,nutrient,
and water management), greenhouse technologies, sustainable horticulture in
open field and greenhouse, nutritional quality of vegetables. The most
recent work concerns artificial lighting in greenhouse and growth chamber,
with special attention to spectral dependence of photosynthesis and
photomorphogenesis and advanced systems based on light emitting diodes
(LEDs). *

*A specific expertise concerns cultivation of higher plants in controlled
environment for Bioregenerative Life-Support Systems (BLSSs) in Space.On
this topic, she works in research projects funded by the Italian Space
Agency (ASI) and the European Space Agency (ESA) and participates to the
ESA consortium MELiSSA - Micro-Ecological Life Support System Alternative *

*

*She also collaborated in the creation of the Laboratory of Crop research
for Space and the design of the Plant Characterization Unit (PCU) funded by
ESA at the Department of Agricultural sciences of the University of Naples
Federico II (Naples, Italy), aiming at the characterization of candidate
crops for cultivation in BLSSs.*
