Environmental and analytical chemistry, with emphasis on trace metal determination, sample preparation, and the development of green and automated analytical systems. His research integrates liquid-phase microextraction, digital image colorimetry, and flow analysis for monitoring contaminants in water, effluents, sediments, and biota. These competences are directly aligned with the Water4All objectives, particularly in the design of innovative, low-cost, and sustainable analytical approaches for water-quality assessment. His experience in microcontroller-based automation and in the application of green solvents and eutectic mixtures reinforces the project’s technological and environmental relevance.
