CRC Press Chemometrics in Chromatography (Chromatographic Science Series)

Chemometrics uses advanced mathematical and statistical algorithms to provide maximum chemical information by analyzing chemical data, and obtain knowledge of chemical systems. Chemometrics significantly extends the possibilities of chromatography and with the technological advances of the personal computer and continuous development of open-source software, many laboratories are interested in incorporating chemometrics into their chromatographic methods. This book is an up-to-date reference that presents the most important information about each area of chemometrics used in chromatography, demonstrating its effective use when applied to a chromatographic separation. Review "So why is this book a must purchase? It consists of seven sections, sub-divided into a number of chapters. Just the first three sections make this a book to purchase...this is a great book for all chromatographers. It will make you look and consider your experimental designs and the data you collect. Some of the methods described are not standard in your chromatographic data system. But with today’s high-performance computers and the vast amount of open source software I am sure the average lab scientist can easily implement the well-described methods in the book." - Chromatographia, August 2019 About the Author Professor Łukasz Komsta is currently full professor in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Medical University of Lublin (Lublin, Poland). His main scientific interest is the theory and application of liquid chromatography, especially in connection with computational chemistry, drug chemistry and chemometrics. Another scientific interest is application of chromatographic methods (especially thin layer chromatography) in the analysis of drugs. He had several stays in Department of Chemometrics of Silesian University as a member of the team of Prof. Beata Walczak and Prof. Michał Daszykowski. He is author or coauthor of more than 80 scientific papers, member of Editorial Board of “Acta Chromatographica” and section editor of “Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences” and guest editor of several special issues of scientific journals. On regular basis acts as referee for journals such as: Acta Chromatographica, Analytica Chimica Acta, Analytical Chemistry Insights, Biomedical Chromatography, Bulletin of the Veterinary Institute in Pulawy, Central European Journal of Chemistry (now Open Chemistry), Chemical Industry and Chemical Engineering Quaterly, Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems, Chromatographia, Chromatography Research International, Computers in Biology and Medicine, Current Analytical Chemistry, Current Pharmaceutical Analysis, European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Food Chemistry, Industrial Crops and Products, Journal of AOAC International, Journal of Brazilian Chemical Society, Journal of Chemometrics, Journal of Chromatographic Science, Journal of Chromatography A and B, Journal of Liquid Chromatography and Related Technologies, Journal of Molecular Structure, Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology,Journal of Planar Chromatography – Modern TLC, Journal of Separation Science, Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Phytochemistry Letters and Spectrochimica Acta Part A. He has co-edited (with Monika Waksmundzka-Hajnos and Joseph Sherma) the book Thin layer chromatography in drug analysis published in Chromatographic Science Series. Professor Yvan Vander Heyden obtained the diplomas of laboratory technician in 1986 (highest distinction), of pharmacist in 1991 at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel - VUB (highest distinction), and a Ph.D. in pharmaceutical sciences in April 1998 at the same university (promoter: D.L. Massart). Since 1998 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the same department, became a guest professor in 2001, an associate professor in 2003 and obtained a full-professor position in A
