Analytical research forum 2024 (ARF24)

18 June 2024, London, United Kingdom


Introduction
The Analytical research forum (ARF) provides an opportunity for students and early career researchers from analytical science communities to present their work alongside high profile scientists. The event will showcase cutting-edge analytical chemistry and applications to stimulate new research, collaboration and engagement between academia and industry.

Join us in London in June 2024.  Our one day format includes keynotes and invited talks, panel discussions plus additional oral contributions selected by the Scientific Committee from the submitted abstracts.

This year’s ARF will include a panel discussion on “Engaging with the Community”. We are seeking questions in advance from the audience. Please email your general questions for the panel, or questions for individual panel members, to events@rsc.org by 11 June 2024 and we will try to incorporate as many questions as we can.

Speakers
Tony Bristow, Chemical Development, AstraZeneca, Macclesfield, United Kingdom

Tony Bristow is Principal Scientist for Analytical and Measurement Science and Director for Trace Analysis in Chemical Development at AstraZeneca (Macclesfield, UK). In addition, Tony holds the role of technology and capability lead for the Analytical Sciences Leadership Team, within AstraZeneca’s Pharmaceutical Technology & Development organisation. These roles are focussed on the development and delivery of analytical science strategy and currently has a focus on the implementation and application of automation and digital technologies. Prior to this current role, Tony’s expertise was the application and development of mass spectrometry (2005 - 2018). Tony is the Chair of the Industry Advisory Board of the Community for Analytical Measurement Science (CAMS) and a Visiting Professor at the University of Warwick. Tony is a former member of the Royal Society of Chemistry Analytical Division Council (2013-2019) and the former Chair of the British Mass Spectrometry Society (2012-2014). Tony was awarded a degree in Applied Chemistry in 1992 and his PhD (mass spectrometry) in 1996. Tony previously worked for Kodak and LGC focussed on a variety of analytical science based projects. Tony is an author/co-author of 47 peer reviewed publications and regularly presents at national and international conferences.

Azzedine Dabo, GSK, United Kingdom

I am currently part of GSK’s Method Innovation Team based in Stevenage UK with area of interest in in-silico modelling, quality by design (QbD) method development, using AI/ML for HPLC method development and the transfer of analytical methods and results between chromatography instruments.
I have been awarded the GSK EMBRACE Rising 2022 Award and GSK Ahead Together/CEO Award 2022.

Julie MacPherson, University of Warwick, United Kingdom

Professor Macpherson’s work focuses on the use of carbon-based materials in electrochemical systems for a variety of applications, including environmental monitoring and electrochemical energy storage. One of the key materials being used is lab-grown boron-doped diamond (BDD), an electrochemically active form of diamond.
 
Due to its unique and wide-ranging properties, BDD is finding use as a robust sensor for determining the health status of rivers and seas. BDD is also capable of generating highly oxidising species which can be used to fight viruses and bacteria as well as clean up waste water systems. The non-corrosive nature of the material also means it can act as a possible carbon replacement for corrosion susceptible graphite type materials in fuel cells.


Robert Weatherup, University of Oxford, United Kingdom

Rob Weatherup is Associate Professor in the Department of Materials at the University of Oxford, where he leads a group of 20 researchers working on materials for energy storage and conversion.  He started his research group as a Diamond-Manchester fellow (2018–2019) based at Diamond Light Source and took up his current position at Oxford in October 2019. His group aims to understand the reactions occurring at the interfaces between these materials and their operating environment in areas including Li-ion batteries, electrochemical hydrogen production, and carbon dioxide conversion. He is a CAMS-UK Fellow, a Visiting Scientist at Diamond Light Source, and the Research Area Lead for Electrochemical Systems within the Royce Institute, the UK’s national institute for advanced materials research and innovation. He currently holds an ERC starting grant and UKRI future leaders fellowship, through which he is developing new methods to probe electrochemical and catalytic interfaces in action using X-ray techniques.
