Mariosimone Zoccali
Mariosimone Zoccali is an assistant professor of analytical chemistry in the Department of Mathematical and Computer Science, Physical Sciences and Earth Sciences at the University of Messina, in Italy since July 2019. His research is focused on the development of multidimensional chromatographic instrumentation and software (GC×GC, LC–GC, LC–GC×GC, SFE–SFC), coupled to state-of-the-art MS for the study of complex matrices constituents and contaminants. Mariosimone has authored or co-authored more than 65 articles and book chapters. He has given award-winning presentations at multiple international meetings. He has been directly involved with the development of award-winning instrumentation. In particular, he assembled a five-dimensional instrument consisting of a liquid chromatography system combined with a comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry instrument. Zoccali received recognition for his achievements in 2018 with the “Young Researcher Award”, on behalf of the Interdivisional Separation Science Group (Italian Society of Chemistry), in 2021 he has been nominated “Rising Stars of Separation Science” by the journal “Columns” and won the “Young Researcher Award”, on behalf of the Italian Analytical Chemistry Division of the (Italian Society of Chemistry). In 2022 won the “John B. Phillips Award” conferred during the 19th International GC×GC Symposium. He has pursued and won multiple travel awards to better disseminate his research to the broader scientific community. He is also leader of the working group three of the EuChemS-DAC Sample Preparation Study Group.
