Biography

Andrea Speltini is Associate Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry (University of Pavia, Italy). His research interests focus on preparation of new sorbents for separation science, essentially sample treatment (extraction, clean up, preconcentration) and chromatography. He is involved in development and validation of analytical methods for trace determination of organic contaminants and drugs in complex matrices, including environmental, biological and food samples. An additional topic refers to analytical-environmental studies for waste biomass valorisation to obtain green hydrogen gas from water via photocatalysis, in the circular economy vision. The results of his research are gathered in more than 80 scientific publications and several oral communications in national/international congresses.
