Supercritical Fluid Chromatography and Extraction

Caroline West received a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Paris-Saclay, France (2005) then was appointed as an Assistant Professor in analytical chemistry at the University of Orleans, France. She was later promoted to Full Professor (2020) in the same university. Her main scientific interests lie in fundamentals of chromatographic separation in liquids and supercritical fluids, both in achiral and chiral modes. She also applies these methods to different samples, such as pharmaceuticals and natural products. She is the author of over 100 papers, 7 book chapters, and has presented above 100 talks in national and international conferences and seminars. In 2015, she received the “LC‐GC Emerging Leader in Chromatography” award from LC‐GC North America and was ranked several times among the most influential people in analytical chemistry by “The Analytical Scientist” magazine (“Top 40 under 40” 2014 & 2018, “The Power List” 2019, 2020 & 2021). More recently, she was the recipient of the Jubilee medal from the Chromatographic Society (2021).

Colin F. Poole was born and educated in the United Kingdom receiving a B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of Leeds (1971) followed by graduate studies at the University of Bristol, MSc. in analytical chemistry (1972), and Ph.D. with Prof. E. D. Morgan at the University of Keele (1975) on the analysis of insect moulting hormones. Since 1980 he has been at the Department of Chemistry, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, USA , except for 1995-1996, spent as the Governors’ Lecturer and Professor of Analytical Chemistry at Imperial College of Science, Technology & Medicine, London, in the United Kingdom. He is a former Science Advisor to the US Food and Drug Administration, a position he occupied for 25 years. Professor Poole has broad interests in the separation and detection of small molecules in biological, environmental, and food samples using a range of sample preparation, chromatographic and data analysis tools. He is the co-author of over 400 papers, 20 books, an editor of Journal of Chromatography A and a member of the editorial boards of 5 other analytical chemistry journals.
