UCC Chemistry Researcher wins Major International Chromatography Prize
UCC Chemistry Researcher, Norma Scully, is the winner of a major
international chromatography prize - The Horvaith Prize. The Csaba
Horváth Memorial Award is awarded for the best lecture presentation by
a scientist under the age of 35. Norma's presentation titled
'Supercritical Fluid Generated Stationary Phases for Liquid
Chromatography and Capillary Electrochromatography', was chosen for the
award from 20 international Horvath Award nominees. The Prize was
presented to Norma at the closing Plenary session of the International
Symposium and Exhibition on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations
and Related Techniques (HPLC 2006) in San Francisco.
Already an Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and
Technology (IRSCET) Embark scholarship holder, this latest success
follows Norma's 2005 AGB prize as the best Analytical Chemistry speaker
at the 57th Irish Universities Research Colloquium, held at NUI
Maynooth. Norma is completing her PhD research in the Analytical
Chemistry Division, Chemistry Department, College of Science, Engineering and Food Science (SEFS), UCC, in the Innovative
Chromatography group, led by Professor Jeremy Glennon and Dr Liam Healy.
The Symposium is the largest meeting of its kind in the world and is
dedicated to the needs and interests of analytical chemists,
bio-chemists, molecular biologists and other practitioners of
separations sciences. Symposium chairman John Frenz, stated that the
meeting had grown over the years to become the largest meeting in the
world dedicated to liquid phase separation science. Separations science
he described as a dynamic, continually evolving discipline with a broad
scope that comprises advances in all types of liquid phase separations
from preparative and analytical chromatography to micro-fluidic
techniques.
