Ep. 34: A Banner Year for Separation Science at Pittcon 2025
Perrault Uptmor of William & Mary, and Dr. Emanuela Gionfriddo of SUNY at Buffalo. Kate and Emanuela are both returning guests of the pod (see episodes 2 and 14), and joined us on-site at the Boston Convention Center to reflect on what we saw and heard at Pittcon 2025.
In a wide-ranging conversation, we touch on a variety of aspects of the Pittcon experience, including networking opportunities, award sessions recognizing both early-career scientists and achievements over lifetimes, and of course trends in various areas as observed from the numerous technical sessions and talks.
Several notable award sessions honoring great work in separation science included:
● ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry Young Investigator in Separation Science - awarded to Prof. Xiao Su of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
● Pittcon Analytical Chemistry Award - awarded to Prof. Dan Armstrong of the University of Texas at Arlington
● LCGC Emerging Leader Award - awarded to Prof. Katelynn Perrault Uptmor of William & Mary
● LCGC Lifetime Achievement Award - awarded to Christopher Pohl of CAP Chromatography and Consulting
● Chromatography Forum of the Delaware Valley Dal Nogare Award - awarded to Terry Berger
Some of the trends discussed during the episode include developments in the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence tools in our field, multi-dimensional separations, green chemistry, and more!
