Most exciting current project
I’m very excited about a new project we are about to embark on to automate method optimization for multidimensional analysis.

Advice to my younger self
Work hard and be persistent, but don’t forget to relax from time to time!

Key trends in pharmaceutical analysis
Both multidimensional chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry are becoming increasingly popular due to the need to unravel the exact composition of pharmaceutical samples early in the drug development process.
