Tea With Emily Hilder
Our second series comes from sunny Salzburg and features Power List regular, Emily Hilder.
Tea With Rich is back for a second series. In this first episode from the ISC2014 conference in Salzburg, Austria, Emily Hilder – one of our Top 40 Under 40 – tells us all about an exciting and ambitious collaborative project focused on portable analysis. The ARC Training Centre for Portable Analytical Separation Technologies (ASTech) is a recently established center funded under the Australian Research Council’s (ARC) Industrial Transformation Research Program (ITRP) and is a partnership between the University of Tasmania and Trajan Scientific and Medical.
Emily Hilder is Professor and ARC Future Fellow in the Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science (ACROSS) and School of Chemistry at the University of Tasmania. Her research focuses on the design and application of new polymeric materials, in particular polymer monoliths, in all areas of separation science. She is also interested in the development of miniaturised analytical systems, particularly for applications in clinical diagnostics and remote monitoring. She has over 95 peer-reviewed publications and was recently recognised as the LCGC Emerging Leader in Chromatography (2012). She is also an Editor of the Journal of Separation Science.
Rich Whitworth completed his studies in medical biochemistry at the University of Leicester, UK, in 1998. To cut a long story short, he escaped to Tokyo to spend five years working for the largest English language publisher in Japan. "Carving out a career in the megalopolis that is Tokyo changed my outlook forever. When seeing life through such a kaleidoscopic lens, it's hard not to get truly caught up in the moment." On returning to the UK, after a few false starts with grey, corporate publishers, Rich was snapped up by Texere Publishing, where he spearheaded the editorial development of The Analytical Scientist. "I feel honored to be part of the close-knit team that forged The Analytical Scientist – we've created a very fresh and forward-thinking publication." Rich is now also Content Director of Texere Publishing, the company behind The Analytical Scientist.
