Performed treatment of samples for C-14 dating.

Improved current GC-MS methods for the identification of natural resins in mixtures.Optimized sample preparation procedures.Developed a effective analytical method that lead to uncover ancient restoration recipes.

Developed a micro-Raman spectrometry procedure for the chemical characterization of museum objects.Method successfully applied to case studies: achieved new insights on ancient art techniques.Studied the degradative reactions underlying the weathering and aging of stone polychromes.

Developed GC-MS methods for identification of proteins, oils, polysaccharides and natural resins in museum objects. Charged with the identification of polymeric materials: analysis in FTIR and thermal analysis (DTA, DSC and TGA) to identify the polymer composition were carried out. Results assisted restoration projects of modern artworks and collection objects .Led analysis of organic contaminants (dioxins, IPA, PCB) in environmental matrices with GC-MS methods.Gained experience in routine analysis on water, soil and air samples by means of current chromatographic (HPLC, GC, TLC) and spectrometric methods (UV-Vis, FTIR). Trained in quality control of cosmetics.Trained in the use of SEM-EDX, RDX to identification of inorganic materials in art objects.

Course in Conservation Science and Diagnostics of Art Objects
