Dwight Stoll, assistant professor of chemistry at Gustavus, has been named winner of the LCGC 2011 Emerging Leader Award. This award recognizes the achievements and aspirations of talented young scientific or technical professionals who have made strides early in their career toward the advancement of chromatographic applications and techniques.
“We are delighted to see Dr. Stoll receive this highly prestigious award,” says Gustavus Chemistry Department Chair Brian O’Brien. “His area of research, multi-dimensional liquid chromatography, is both of great power as an analytical technique and technically challenging. Congratulations to him and his research students for their outstanding work.”
Stoll, who has taught at Gustavus since 2008, has developed fast, comprehensive two‐dimensional high performance liquid chromatography (c2D‐HPLC) as an analytical tool capable of quickly separating and quantifying hundreds of chemical constituents of complex mixtures. In his post‐doctoral work in the Department of Medicine at the University of Minnesota he used liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) to identify low molecular weight compounds involved in biological matrices.
As part of the award, Stoll will be interviewed March 15, 2011 at Pittcon, the world’s largest annual conference and exposition for laboratory science, to be held in Atlanta. The 10-12 minute interview, part of the journal’s Pittcon Theater, will be videotaped and posted on LCGC’s website the week following the conference, and then highlighted in an April newsletter and included in a special e-mail about the theater program.
LCGC is the industry’s leading and most-recognized resource for chromatographers. More is available at LCGS chromatography.com, an online journal of peer-reviewed research in liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry.
