Mariosimone Zoccali, PhD profile page

Mariosimone Zoccali has been assistant professor in analytical chemistry at the University of Messina (Department of Mathematical and Computer Science, Physical Sciences and Earth Sciences) since July 2022. His research is focused on the development of multidimensional chromatographic instrumentation and software (gas chromatography (GC)×GC, liquid chromatography (LC)–GC, LC–GC×GC, supercritical fluid extraction– supercritical fluid chromatography (SFE–SFC)), coupled to state-of-the-art mass spectrometry (MS) for the study of complex matrices constituents and contaminants. Mariosimone has authored or co-authored 77 articles and 7 book chapters. He was involved in the organizing and scientific committees of different international analytical symposiums. He has been directly involved with the development of award-winning instrumentation. In particular, he assembled a five-dimensional instrument consisting of an LC system combined with a comprehensive two-dimensional GC–triple quadrupole MS instrument. He has been the recipient of the international “John B. Philips Award” at the International GC×GC symposium in 2022, the national “2021 Young Researcher Award” conferred by the Analytical Chemistry Division of the Italian Chemical Society and the “2018 Young Researcher Award” conferred by the Interdivisional Group of Separation Science of the Italian Chemical Society. He is also leader of working group three of the EuChemS-DAC Sample Preparation Study Group. In 2023 he became the principal investigator of a research project titled “gReen analytical methods for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) detection in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO): From lABoratory to smart LabEl”.
