	Biography	Born in Como, Italy, on September, 1976. Resident in Casnate con Bernate (Como), Italy. July 1995: Diploma Degree in Industrial Chemistry (Technical State Institute I.T.I.S. di Setificio “Paolo Carcano”), Como. June 2001: Laurea Degree in Chemistry, University of Insubria. October 2001: State Examination for Professional Habilitation. November 2001 - October 2004: Ministerial grant for a triennial project (Research Doctorate in Chemical Sciences, University of Insubria). December 2004: Final examination for the Research Doctorate Title. March 2005: Permanent Position (Researcher) at the Faculty of Sciences of University of Insubria, Department of Chemical and Environmental Sciences
	Qualifications and awards	Member of the Italian Chemical Society
	Research interests	Research activity is devoted to optimization of analytical methodologies for analysis of trace metals. Technological and constructive aspects of analytical instrumentation are also studied. The use of chemometric methods plays an important role both in experimental design and optimization phases and in results interpretation. Knowledge and experience in multivariate calibration modelling gave the opportunity to conduct research work also in Environmental Sciences, Catalysis, Cultural Heritage and Archaeology. An ongoing collaboration with CAMO Process AS for training in statistical analysis has been established.
