Biography
Gosetti Fabiois Associate Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy). He has over twenty years of experience in the use of LC-MS/MS technique, in particular as concerns the development and the validation of LC-MS/MS methods for the determination of targeted (chloroanilines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic sulfonates, pesticides, drugs, psychotropic substances, perfluorinated compound, dyes, phthalates, alkylphenols,..) and untargeted species in several matrices (food, biological and environmental matrices). His studies mainly deal with the identification of new unknown emerging pollutants in water, formed by natural or sunlight-induced transformation reactions in the environment. He is the author of 100 manuscripts published in peer-reviewed journalsand 11 book chapters (invited). He attended more than a hundred schools, conferences, and seminars. He presented more than 150 oral and poster communications as author and co-authorat national and international conferences.
