Marcel Maeder

Biography

I am a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Chemometrics. Additionally, I regularly serve as referee for Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Analytica Chimica Acta, Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems, Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms and others. During the last five years I have been invited to several national and international conferences to deliver plenary and keynote lectures, including a Gordon Conference in 2005 [International Chemometrics Research Meeting (similar to Gordon Research Conference), Amsterdam, May 2002; Brazilian Chemical Society Annual Conference, Salvador, April 2004; and CCBA-2004, Shanghai, October 2004, Statistics In Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, Gordon Conference, MA, USA July 2005]. I have acted as session chairperson on many of those conferences. I have established a very active collaboration with Applied Photophysics Ltd., the leading manufacturer of stopped-flow instruments. The companys commercial software for their advanced kinetic analysis has been developed in our chemometrics group. I am and have been supervising and co-supervising some 20 PhD projects. With few exceptions, the students went overseas for post-doc positions in well-regarded research laboratories (Universities of Geneva, Lausanne, Basel, ETH Z¿rich (all Switzerland), Ottawa, New York, Lund and Sydney.) Maintaining and enhancing this type of exchange is an important aspect of this application. An invited monograph on data analysis "Practical Data Analysis in Chemistry" is presently in print, Elsevier 2007.
