Throughout my scientific career, my research has been dedicated to pioneering solutions in environmental chemistry, emerging contaminants’ fate, and advanced chemical analysis. From the earlier stages of my career, I focused extensively on Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) and photocatalysis, developing innovative methods to degrade highly persistent and toxic organic pollutants. A recent core part of my work involves the detection, monitoring, and detoxification of chemical warfare agents, explosives, and ammunition residues in environmental matrices, establishing robust analytical protocols for complex and hazardous compounds.

Over the years, this expertise evolved alongside emerging technological breakthroughs. Today, my research leverages the full potential of High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) and untargeted analysis to address modern environmental challenges. By establishing state-of-the-art environmental metabolomics and exposomics workflows, my laboratory profiles complex biological systems to track contaminants of emerging concern and monitor cellular stress responses. This comprehensive approach is powered by an advanced bioinformatics pipeline—utilizing cutting-edge computational tools like MZmine, GNPS2, and SIRIUS—bridging decades of foundational environmental chemistry with the future of data-driven molecular discovery.
