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.



Mr Alan J Handley CChem FRSC

President-Elect



Mr Tom P Lynch CChem FRSC

Vice-President

Dr John D Green CChem FRSC

Honorary Treasurer

Until 2002 John worked for BP Chemicals in Hull managing a section providing both analytical services and analytical research & development. The section was particularly involved in the development and implementation of on-line analytical systems using spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques. John has been involved with the RSC for over 20 years at Local Section and Divisional levels serving in various capacities including Analytical Division President and Local Section Chairman.

Dr Roger Wood OBE CChem FRSC

Chair, Analytical Methods Committee

Roger Wood gained his degree in Chemistry at Hull University and his PhD in analytical chemistry at Imperial College. Roles include working for the Food Standards Agency (previously the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food). His particular interests, besides methods of analysis and sampling, now lie with the quality of analysis, accreditation and proficiency testing of food analysis laboratories. He is co-author of a number International Harmonised Protocol/Guidelines - now cited in legislation. In recognition of his work he was awarded the OBE in 2003.He is currently Chair of the Division's Analytical Methods Committee.

Dr Thomas M Hawkins BSc CChem MRSC

Tom Hawkins is a Principal Scientist at Innospec, a specialty chemicals producer in Ellesmere Port, where his role includes developing application specific tests for new product discovery in fuel additives and building collaborations with academia. Before joining Innospec he was a Sensor Technologist at the ‘electronic nose’ manufacturer Osmetech and also worked as an industrial trainee with BP in Sunbury-on-Thames. Tom obtained his PhD in methods for protein immobilisation for biosensing at Imperial College and his degree in Chemistry from King’s College London.

Dr Melissa Hanna-Brown CChem MRSC

Industrial Liaison Representative

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.
