个人简介
From University, I started my industrial career with Unilever Research in Port Sunlight, working on the development of in house monitors for the detergent industry. I joined Phase Separations in 1979 and became the Technical Director in 1985, being responsible for the manufacture of Spherisorb and the development of new Sol-Gel processes for the manufacture of spherical ceramics for use in chromatography. This knowledge is now used in the area of capillary electro chromatography for the development of new supports and bonded phases for this new developing separation technique. With my other interests in both physics and mathematics, I also work on computational chemistry and especially computational chromatography in the virtual laboratory of the computer.

研究领域
My aim is to replace the industrial habit of collecting fluid samples in bottles and delivering them to laboratories for analysis. We will replace these manual procedures by automated instruments that challenge this glacially slow, high-support-cost, lab-centric business model. The proposed new self-contained analysers will allow measurement at the point of use, thereby eliminating labor, transport time and potential contamination. This new paradigm is made possible through microfabrication. The miniaturisation and integration of solid-phase extraction, electro-chromatographic separations and full-spectrum electro-optical or electro-magnetic detection will allow the encapsulation and optimisation of existing instrumental methods into micro-fluidic, application–specific chemistry chips. Each chip is essentially a laboratory integrated into its sample’s environment.
