Research Institute for Chromatography - Belgium

Pat Sandra is known for his expansive knowledge across a wide spectrum of analytical techniques, blending the world of academia and private enterprise, and bringing separation science into the mainstream consciousness. He has combined analytical excellence, innovation, and a unique gift for problem solving into a career which has lasted almost 50 years. Pat has written hundreds of publications in peer-reviewed journals and is a well-known speaker at prestigious events around the world. He started his own chromatography group, the RIC group in Kortrijk, Belgium, that focuses on separation science and mass spectrometry. As a long-time professor at the Ghent University, from which he recently retired, he has supported many scholarships and international cooperation with numerous universities and companies. Pat was also the driving force behind the popular symposium on capillary separation techniques that is organized biannually in Riva del Garda, Italy.

The Research Institute for Chromatography (R.I.C.) was founded in 1986 by Pat Sandra and has been involved in the development and promotion of chromatographic and mass spectrometric knowledge and know-how from the very start. R.I.C.´s mission is to transfer chromatographic and mass spectrometric knowledge and know-how. Ever since its foundation, the research activities and the method development projects have been situated in a broad range of application areas, such as such as (bio)chemistry, biotechnology, petro-chemistry, clinical chemistry, food, flavors and natural products, polymer sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, toxicology, environmental chemistry and life sciences. Parallel with these services, R.I.C. is offering total analytical solutions and is involved in instrumental innovations as such and in collaboration with manufacturers.

School of Chemistry, Faculty of Science at Monash University - Australia

Philip Marriott is Professor in the School of Chemistry, Faculty of Science at Monash University. His previous academic appointments were at the National University of Singapore, Department of Chemistry, and RMIT University. This was preceded by a postdoctoral position at the University of Bristol and a PhD in Chemistry (LaTrobe Univ., Melbourne). His main research activities are in Analytical Chemistry, with primary research interests in GC and MS, specifically in very high resolution comprehensive 2D GC (GCxGC) and multidimensional GC, with MS and other detectors. Research includes fundamental method development and a broad applications base – petrochemicals, essential oils, natural products, pollutants and pesticides, fatty acids, and chiral analysis. Professor Marriott is recipient of an ARC Discovery Outstanding Researcher Award. He has recently been awarded a Special Visiting Researcher on a Brazil CNPq grant, administered by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, in conjunction with the Agricultural Institute EMBRAPA on a project on coffee and natural oils.

Prior to this, he was awarded a World Class University (WCU) Distinguished Professorship, under the Korean Research Foundation, with Chung-Ang University, Seoul, and Australian Academy of Science professorial visits in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Science to China, and to Portugal. He has published 368 journal papers, and 27 book chapters.

His Monash profile has a more complete research profile, activities, and publications, and a link to his Research Group webpage where a "GCxGC and MDGC tutorial" can be found.
