Wolfgang Lindner

Wolfgang Lindner is professor emeritus at The Institute of Analytical Chemistry, University of Vienna, Austria. In 2014, Wolfgang is also co-chair of the International Symposium of Chromatography. “I’m not only an analytical chemist, I am also a materials scientist, and I was trained as an organic chemist. So I try to bridge many different fields. I also have an entrepreneurial flair,” says Wolfgang, who co-invented chiral stationary phase technology, which is licensed out to Chiral Technologies.

In Lewis Carroll’s 1871 novel, Through the Looking-Glass, Alice suggests to her black kitten, “Perhaps Looking-Glass milk isn’t good to drink...” And though our four gurus don’t attempt to predict the potability of milk from a mirror world, they keenly address the broader significance of chirality, the major milestones in chiral analysis, and where the field is heading.
