Professor Wilson was born in 1953 and started his career as a biochemist investigating the developmental hormones in desert locusts, whilst studying for his PhD at Keele University. He left academia after completion of a 1-year post doc to start his illustrious career in industry. His first role was at the Hoechst Pharmaceuticals working
Professor Wirth was trained in nonlinear optical spectroscopy completing her Ph.D. in 1978. Over the course of her career, she has displayed a most impressive combination of creativity and a boldness to continually explore important new research areas of high impact. She began her independent professional career in ultra-fast spectroscopy of liquids, then evolved
Professor Pavel Jandera was born in 1944 and has had a proliferic career in the field of separation science. He was introduced to separation science by Jaroslav Churácek during his undergraduate studies in Czechoslovakia. Initially looking at TLC he then started to develop his own HPLC instrumentation. In 1973 he completed his PhD thesis on
Professor Michael Lämmerhofer of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Tübingen has been awarded the 2014 Chromatographic Society Jubilee Medal for his important contribution to the development of chromatographic science. The broad range of his research - from the development of functionalised separation materials (in particular chiral stationary phases) through to bioanalytical separations
Professor Tanaka’s research is truly multidisciplinary. His work spans research on highly selective stationary phases, isotope separation and separations based on isotopic chirality, separation mechanism elucidation, multidimensional separations and biological separations. He contributed to the development of the monolithic silica rod column which was commercialised by Merck in 2000 and is widely used in
Professor Günther Bonn was awarded this medal for his sustained and important contribution to the promotion of separation science - reflected in his strong presence in peer-reviewed scientific literature, numerous patents, recognition as a speaker at national and international separation science meetings and his membership of numerous editorial boards. The breadth of his work
Dr Fabrice Gritti of the Department of Chemistry, University of Tennessee has been awarded the 2013 Chromatographic Society Jubilee Medal for his important contribution to the development of chromatographic science. Dr Grittis’s strong presence in the peer-reviewed scientific literature and prominence as speaker at international separation science meetings was a key aspect in his
Professor Frantisek Svec was awarded his Martin medal for his world-leading contribution to chromatographic science. His prolific work in the development of polymeric stationary phases and adaption of these to multiple column and chip formats was recognised by the committee as ground-breaking research. The pivotal approaches he has pioneered for the fabrication of monolithic
Professor Edward S. Yeung of the Faculty of Chemistry and U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory at Iowa State University has been awarded the 2012 Chromatographic Society Martin Medal. Professor Yeung was awarded this medal for his sustained and important contribution to the promotion of separation science, particularly for his multidisciplinary work on electrophoretic
