Dr. Attilio Naccarato

Attilio Naccarato has consolidated experience in analytical chemistry and is affiliated at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Technologies of the University of Calabria. His primary research activity focuses on the development and validation of advanced analytical methodologies for the determination of organic and inorganic contaminants in complex matrices of environmental, food, and biological relevance. His work integrates mass spectrometry technologies, solvent-minimized microextraction techniques, and chemometric approaches for both method optimization and data interpretation. He is particularly involved in the determination of trace elements and emerging pollutants, with applications ranging from environmental and food safety to exposomics and clinical chemistry, supporting their potential use in environmental medicine and human biomonitoring. He is actively involved in national and international research projects and serves in editorial roles, including as an Editorial Board Member of Chemical Papers (Springer Nature), Frontiers in Analytical Science, and Separations (MDPI).
