She currently works on atomic spectrometry, particularly quantification of trace metals in samples of environmental interest. She published many papers on slurry-sampling ETAAS. There, robust analytical protocols were developed based on multivariate chemometric optimization methods (namely, experimental design and simplex optimization). At present she monitors several heavy metals of special concern in residual fuel oil (tar balls), sea water and sediments after the disaster of the Prestige tanker off the Galician coast (2002, which released around 63,000 tons of a heavy fuel oil). This research is supported by the Galician and Spanish Governments.ver menos
