Luigi Mondello is full Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Messina in Italy. He is co-president and co-founder of The Mediterranean Separation Science Foundation Training and Research Center, founder and Chief Operating Officer of Chromaleont S.r.l., a Society committed to the development of analytical instrumentation and software, as well as the training of PhD students and post-doctoral fellows
from around the world.
His research is mainly focused on multidimensional instrumentation and dedicated software, LC, GC, SFC and hybrid combinations, mainly hyphenated to state-of-the-art MS. Advanced technologies are applied for the analytical characterization of complex and unknown samples, as well as for assessment of the impact of bioactive molecules on the biochemistry in living organisms. He has co-authored more than 400 scientific papers (h-index of 53 in Scopus database), and has shared research projects and collaborations with universities and corporations all around the world.
In recognition of the global visibility and innovation of his research, he has received several awards: HTC Award, COLACRO Medal, Silver Jubilee Medal, Liberti Medal, TASIAs, IFEAT Medal, GC×GC Lifetime Achievement, Golay Award, Robert Kellner Lecture Award, Dutton Award. The Analytical Scientist Journal has named Luigi Mondello to the “Power List” of the top 100 most influential people in the analytical sciences worldwide, and to the “Magnificent Tens” in the field of Separation Science.
Luigi Mondello is editor of Journal of Essential Oil Research, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Food Analytical Methods.
He splits his work time between research and seminars/meetings, as witnessed by over 1000 conference presentations, among which are 200 invited talks. He is permanent member of the scientific committee of international symposia (ISCC, ISEO, HTC, SIMCRO, COLACRO) and since 2012 he is Chairman of the International Symposium on Capillary Chromatography (ISCC), featuring advances from leading academia and industrial experts in the field of miniaturized separation techniques, comprehensive chromatography and mass spectrometry, with an attendance of >700 participants from 43 countries.
Next Symposium (44th ISCC) will be held in 2020 in Riva del Garda, Italy, jointly with the 17th GC×GC Symposium.
