Research interests

Research activity is focused on the development of new analytical methods for the analysis and speciation of trace and ultra-trace metals.

Voltammetric stripping techniques for both total metal determination and speciation analysis are the main research interest. Cathodic stripping voltammetry is the most used technique. Particular attention is paid to the undestanding of the chemical processes taking place during analysis, with the aim of both getting rid of interferences and elucidating the chemical bases of the analytical methods.

ICP-MS is the second active field of research: both traditional liquid introduction and solid laser ablation are used.

Regarding the application of these techniques, environmental matrixes like snow, ice, sediments and "remote" waters (open ocean, high altitude) are mainly studied among others (industrial applications: heterogeneous catalysts, chemical intermediates, problem solving).

Field activities, like oceanographic cruises and remote mountain sampling, are constantly undertaken.
