In 2009 he received a postdoctoral fellowship from CONICET (Argentinean Research Council).

Dario’s research interests focus on the development and characterisation of novel materials for their application in the general areas of separation science. Including the synthesis and characterisation of both polymer monoliths (cryogels, polyHIPEs, etc) and nano/micro particles. These materials have applications in solid-phase chemistry, sample preparation and as stationary phases for the separation of complex mixtures.
