Research interests

Research activity is mainly focused on the development of new analytical methodologies for the analysis and speciation of metals at trace and ultra-trace level.

Inorganic species in environmental matrices (marine carbonates, ice, snow, melting waters, surface water and sediment) and environmental hazardous samples (atmospheric particulate, fly-ash and waste waters) were investigated.

The analytical approach is multidisciplinary, with specific attention to the improvement of detection limit, control of interferences, definition of the best sample treatment. These goals have been achieved through the combined use of different analytical techniques and chemometric tools.
