Referee of Microchemical Journal, Analitica Chimica Acta, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Nanotoxicology, Chemosphere, Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, Atmospheric Environment.

His main research activities currently focus on the development and application of diagnostic techniques for the characterization of cultural heritage artefacts, as well as on their valorization through innovative digital tools. He is also an expert in the development of advanced methodologies for the physical and chemical characterization of engineered nanomaterials in commercial products, biological and environmental media, and for restoration purposes, as well as of microplastics in the marine environment. He also deeply investigated for more than 15 years, mainly applying HPLC-MS techniques, the environmental behavior of persistent and emerging contaminants and pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, surfactants, endocrine disrupters, pharmaceuticals, etc.
