Scientific Production/Editorial Activities
He is author or co-author of more than 150 papers on peer reviewed journals, 12 book chapters and 1 patent. He has extensively presented his work in international and national conferences.
He is member of Editorial Board of Chromatographia (Springer) and Member of Separations (MDPI). He was Guest Editor of the special issue Theoretical and practical aspects in the separation of large biomolecules, Journal of Chromatography A, vol. 1218, 8725-8974, 2011
ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2510-0871
ResearcherID: B-7051-2015
Scopus Author ID: 6701901334
Research Interests
His research activities mainly revolve around separation science, particularly liquid chromatography, and chromatographic-like techniques. They include a variety of theoretical, experimental, and applied aspects of:
- fundamentals of mass transfer in porous media;
- molecular recognition mechanisms;
- analytical and preparative liquid chromatography for the purification and preparation of highly valued molecules;
- stationary phase characterization and development (including chiral stationary phases);
- purification of large biomolecules (therapeutic peptides, oligonucleotides, etc.) through innovative countercurrent multicolumn continuous approaches.
More recently, his research interests have included the field of omics science particularly exposomics, from the analytical chemistry viewpoint.
