Focus Groups 2025
Guided Discussion 1: Transition to green chemistry, challenges and opportunities for analytical revolution
Moderators: Melissa Dunkle (Dow Benelux), Pierre Giusti (TOTAL Energies), Jef Focant (Université de Liège)
Over the last five years, the political actions to minimize climate change have deeply modified the landscape of chemical and energy industries. These ambitious targets are currently driving the research and development effort to greener solutions for material, chemical, and energy production. During this discussion group, we will discuss with key actors of the field to see the challenges and opportunities for analytical technology in this green revolution.
What is the biggest impact of the green revolution on your work?
How have these changes impacted your work as an analytical scientist?
What are the biggest challenges you aim to tackle in the next 3 years?
How has your knowledge on non-renewable matrices helped you to address these challenges?
What are the opportunities for separation sciences in tackling those challenges?
Any success stories you can share with the audience?
Guided Discussion 2: Teaching GC×GC to students, post-docs, and staff
Moderators: Chris Freye, Colleen Ray, and Michelle Corbally (Los Alamos National Laboratory)
Teaching GC×GC to people in different stages of their careers, especially with diverse analytical chemistry backgrounds, often requires a different approach. Those who learn GC×GC as part of their graduate school experience have multiple years to master the technique whereas people who are trained on the job (post-docs and staff) have significantly less time to attain the same level of proficiency. This discussion will focus on instructional approaches and difficulties in training people with various backgrounds on GC×GC. Special attention will be given to common difficulties encountered regardless of career level.
