معرفی
Rocco Gasco is a Researcher and PhD candidate at the University of Geneva's Institute for Environmental Sciences. His work focuses on nanobiogeochemistry, particularly the interaction between extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) from phytoplankton and silver nanoparticles in freshwater environments. He holds a Master's in Environmental Chemistry from the University of Turin, where his thesis addressed bisphenol monitoring in Swiss canned foods.
Gasco contributes to teaching within the Master of Environmental Science program, organizing annual training courses in environmental sciences, geology, and biology at Piora–Lago di Cadagno–Ritóm. His research explores how EPS influences nanoparticle stability and toxicity, with recent publications examining eco-corona formation and hetero-aggregate characterization using advanced analytical techniques like AF4.
His articles highlight interdisciplinary approaches combining environmental chemistry, nanotechnology, and ecotoxicology. Key themes include nanoparticle behavior in aquatic systems, phytoplankton-nanoparticle interactions, and analytical method development for environmental contaminants. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, though his contributions to environmental science education and nanoparticle research are notable.
