Ewa Szymańska

Ewa Szymańska, currently a post-doctoral researcher in the Analytical Chemistry department, IMM, at Radboud University Nijmegen, in The Netherlands, began her adventure in chemometrics during her PhD. “At that time, I was using chemometric tools to evaluate if the separation method developed at the Medical University of Gdansk, Poland, could be used to discriminate healthy patients from cancer patients,” she says. For the last four years, Ewa has been involved in many multidisciplinary metabolomics projects where she has gained great experience in applying chemometric tools to complex analytical data. “Explaining chemometric findings to analytical scientists with different backgrounds is what I find most challenging and rewarding – surprisingly, being a pharmacist without a strong mathematical background helps with that!”
