He is co-author of over 120 publications and six patent applications/patents in the fields of homogeneous, heterogenised and heterogeneous catalysis (Hindex of over 40, cit. > 8800). In particular, the research in the heterogeneous catalysis has been focused on innovative catalytic systems for the abatement of the automotive exhausts, using nanostructured CeO2-ZrO2 mixed oxides as oxygen storage promoters in the automotive three-way catalysts. This research has been performed in cooperation with leading industries such as Magneti Marelli (FIAT Holding) and MEL Chemicals. In the last years, research concerning the Environmental aspects was focused on the problems of the abatement of emissions from ships: the group was part of the ECOMOS project led by Fincantieri S.p.A. aimed at developing a combined strategy for PM, NOx and SOx removal. Specifically, different engineering problems have been addressed: A laboratory micro-pilot plant equipped with an engine and scrubber has been designed and realized for preliminary testing of the various sections real-scale pilot plant. This micro-plant has then been successfully employed for sizing of a real-scale prototype. Testing and certification of marine engine emissions was performed in co-operation with CETENA S.p.A. Assessment of the emission system of the FSRU - OLT (floating storage and regasification unit) has been carried out in collaboration with Saipem. The research group also cooperated with Wartsila Italia S.p.A. in testing and developing of commercial deNOx technology.
