Interests:
Research interests are focused on the development of analytical methodologies based on various spectroscopic techniques. Main topics include speciation and solid sampling in atomic absorption spectroscopy, while main application fields are in biological, environmental, geological and industrial (ultra-)trace element analysis. One of the primary interests these days is in the nature of interference mechanisms and their consequences on atomization processes in a graphite atomizer. 
 
Other research field is focused on the use of bacterial cells as analytical tools such as biosorbents. Some of his findings have emerged using lyophylized as well as living bacterial cells. This evolution in the type of bio-sorbents used has permitted to increase selectivity of the uptake process making possible the achievement of speciation studies in last term. Another trend was the replacement of monoelemental detection by multidetection systems. In this way, atomic absorption spectroscopy was replaced by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry.

Prof. Aller is also heading a research group dealing with the characterisation of coal fly ashes. Main methods for this research are atomic spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry and vibrational spectroscopy. He is still in the process of analyzing the behaviour of coal fly ashes as an environmental problem and their possibilities to be recycled.
