Curriculum vitae

Marco Roman earned his Master’s degree in Environmental Sciences in 2007 and his Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences (Analytical Chemistry) in 2011 from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, receiving the Doctor Europaeus distinction. During his doctoral studies, he spent eight months as a visiting researcher at the University of Oviedo. His professional career began as a Research Collaborator at the Institute for the Dynamics of Environmental Processes (IDPA-CNR) from 2011 to 2013. Subsequently, he served as a Post-doc Research Fellow at Ca’ Foscari (2013–2016), during which he participated in the XXXI Italian Antarctic Expedition at Concordia Station. Between 2016 and 2018, he held the position of Senior Laboratory Technician at the European Centre for the Sustainable Impact of Nanotechnology (ECSIN). He returned to Ca’ Foscari in 2018, serving first as a non-tenure track and then as a tenure-track Researcher in Analytical Chemistry. Since 2025, he has been an Associate Professor of Analytical Chemistry and serves as the Director of the Data-Centric Environmental Studies Centre (DESC).

Marco Roman’s research focuses on the development and application of advanced analytical methods, primarily based on inorganic and organic mass spectrometry, applied to environmental sciences, with an emphasis on pollution and its health impacts. His expertise extends to bioanalytical and medical sciences, polar sciences, paleogeochemistry, nanotechnologies, and conservation science. Key areas of specialization include chemical (elemental) imaging, hyphenated techniques for speciation analysis, multi-technique characterization of nanomaterials, isotope dilution analysis, and the statistical treatment of analytical data. He is a co-author of more than 50 publications (journal articles and book chapters), with an H-index of 17 and over 70 communications at national and international conferences.
