Professor Gillian Greenway BSc PhD CChem FRSC

President

Gillian Greenway carried out her Ph.D. research at the Department of Instrumentation and Analytical Science, UMIST in the field of trace metal speciation by gas chromatography (GC)- microwave induced plasma (MIP) atomic spectrometry.  In 1985 she became a lecturer at Humberside University before transferring to the Department of Chemistry at the University of Hull in 1988 where she set up a research group working on flow detectors and sensors, on-line sample preparation, separations and environmental trace metal.  In 1996 she was awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry SAC silver medal.She is Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Hull and is working on the miniaturisation of chemical processes and systems for both synthesis and analysis.  Other areas of interest include environmental research and atomic spectrometry.

Professor Malcolm Smyth CChem FRSC

Immediate Past President

With a BSc degree in Biochemistry and a PhD in Analytical Chemistry in the UK he moved to study as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Colorado State University. Taking a Senior Lecturer in 1985 at Dublin City University by 1990 became Head of the School of Chemical Sciences and is currently the Dean of the Faculty of Science and Health at Dublin City University. His research interests are in electroanalysis and separation science. He has published over 200 scientific papers and has edited / co-edited three books.

Dr Melissa Hanna-Brown CChem MRSC

Vice-President

Melissa Hanna-Brown is employed at Pfizer Global R+D Labs in Sandwich as a Lead Separation Scientist for a New Technology Group in Development Science and Technology. She is also a visiting Senior Lecturer in the Department of Pharmacy at King’s College London where she was previously employed as a Lecturer in Separation Sciences. Her PhD studies were carried out between King’s College London and SmithKline Beecham on prediction of drug-biomembrane partitioning. Her postdoctoral research involved developing novel triple-column electrophoretic technology allowing sensitive detection of trace components in complex matrices via 2D-CE. Her interests now include analytical technology development, high resolution strategies for complex biofluid profiling (or metabolomics) and predictive modelling of separations.
