Green Approaches for Chemical Analysis

Dr. Emanuela Gionfriddo received her B.Sc. (2008) and M.Sc. (2010) in Chemistry and her Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry (2013) at University of Calabria (Italy). She joined Prof. Pawliszyn’s group at the University of Waterloo (Ontario, Canada) in 2014 as Post-Doctoral Fellow and manager of the Gas-Chromatography section of the Industrially Focused Analytical Research Laboratory (InFAReL), and within three years became a Research Associate. Dr. Emanuela Gionfriddo has currently authored 30 research articles, 5 reviews, and a patent on PTFE-based SPME coatings. She also has conducted various webinars for organizations such as Millipore-Sigma and Gerstel Inc., where she presented aspects of her research studies. Research work in Dr. Gionfriddo’s lab focuses on the use of basic and advanced analytical separation tools for the analysis of complex biological and environmental matrices, with particular emphasis on alternative green sample preparation methodologies.
