Federico Marini

Federico Marini is a Full Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Rome La Sapienza. He holds editorial roles including Editor-in-Chief of *Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems* and membership in multiple journal boards. His research focuses on chemometrics, particularly method development and application in food chemistry, metabolomics, and multi-block data analysis. He has authored over 300 publications and edited books like *Chemometrics in Food Chemistry* (Elsevier 2013).

Education: PhD in Analytical Chemistry (University of Rome La Sapienza, 2004) with Marie Curie Fellowship (2000–2004). Postdoctoral roles included visiting positions at universities in Copenhagen, Stellenbosch, and Lille.

Research interests span advanced chemometric methods for food authentication, omics data processing, and non-linear modeling. Notable contributions include SO-PLS(-LDA) algorithms and multi-block fusion strategies. He coordinates the Chemometrics Task Group of DAC-EuCheMS and serves as Vice President of the Italian Society of NIR Spectroscopy.

Awards include the 2006 Young Researcher Award (Italian Chemical Society) and 2012 Chemometrics Award. His work bridges analytical chemistry with data science, addressing real-world problems in agriculture, food safety, and biomedicine through innovative spectroscopic and statistical techniques.
