Brett Paull Author

Pavel N. Nesterenko is a Professor in Separation Sciences at the University of Tasmania School of Chemistry in Hobart, Australia. Prior to that, he was a researcher and Professor in Analytical Chemistry for twenty years at Moscow State University in Russia. His research interests are in analytical chemistry, particularly the separation sciences. This includes high-performance liquid chromatography, ion chromatography, size-exclusion chromatography, chiral chromatography capillary zone electrophoresis and chromatofocusing. Professor Nesterenko is a member of several scholarly societies and scientific councils. In addition to this he has authored numerous book chapters and journal articles, is the holder of twelve patents, and the winner of four awards. He acts as a referee for a number of academic journals and has organized seven professional meetings. Phil Jones is a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Plymouth School of Earth, Ocean and Environmental Sciences in the UK, and the Deakin University School of Biological and Chemical Sciences in Victoria, Australia. Prior to his retirement, he was a lecturer in Analytical and Inorganic Chemistry for twenty six years. His research interests include the development of trace analytical methods and separation sciences. Since 1980, his main focus has been the trace determination of metals using novel ion chromatography techniques. He has ninety six publications to his name, including three reviews and two book chapters.Dr Jones is also a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the author of numerous journal articles and book chapters. He has also presented at many professional conferences and successfully supervised eighteen PhD students. Brett Paull obtained his PhD (1994) in analytical chemistry from Plymouth University, UK, working on the development of new modes and applications of ion chromatography. In 1995 Brett joined the Dept. of Chemistry at the University of Tasmania, where he continued his research in ion analysis and separation science. In 1998 Brett moved to Dublin City University, Ireland, where he is now Director of the Irish Separation Science Cluster. Professor Paull has published over 110 journal articles and book chapters in the field of separation science and is currently a member of the Editorial board of Journal of Chromatography A and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Analytical Methods.
