Salvatore Fanali is a Senior Researcher at the Institute of Physical and Analytical Chemistry, School of Exact and Natural Sciences, Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, Georgia. He was head of the “Capillary Electromigration and Chromatographic Methods” Unit at Institute of Chemical Methodologies-C.N.R., Monterotondo, Italy and member of the Scientific Board at the PhD School in Natural Science and Engineering at University of Verona, Italy. His research focus on i studies on molecular recognition chiral and achiral interactions applying capillary chromatographic and electromigration methods; ii development of new separation techniques electromigration and chromatographic methods such as CZE, MEKC, CEC, nano-LC, and HPLC, respectively and hyphenation with mass spectrometry MS; iii synthesis of new chiral stationary phases for CEC and nano-LC. Preparation of packed capillaries with different stationary phases; iv preparation of monolithic columns and frits; v method optimization for applications to drug, peptides, enantiomers, herbicides, food, environment, biomedical and forensic compounds analysis. He published more than 360 papers in the above mentioned fields. Author of several chapters’ books and co-editor of the three books “Liquid Chromatography” Elsevier, 2013, 2017, 2023. He was Editor of the J. Chromatography A 2007-2023 and Editor-in-Chief of the J. Separation Science. He obtained some international Awards, e.g., Liberti medal in Analytical Chemistry, Nota medal for the contribution given in the field of capillary liquid chromatography. In 2015 he was voted as one of “the Top 100 most influential people in the world of analytical science” Analytical Scientists Power List.

Department of Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry Division, Faculty of Science, University of La Laguna (ULL), San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Spain;
Javier Hernández-Borges is Full Professor of Analytical Chemistry (2022) of the Department of Chemistry at the University of La Laguna (ULL) in Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain). He has published around 155 papers in international indexed journals and 34 book chapters, most of them dealing with analytical method development, in particular, with the determination of microplastics, pesticides, antibiotics, phthalates and estrogenic compounds residues in Environmental and food matrices using mainly chromatographic and electromigration techniques also coupled to mass spectrometry detection. He has directed 11 PhD Thesis, 8 of them awarded with the ULL’s PhD Extraordinary Award. Since 2018, he is coordinator of the Applied Analytical Chemistry Research Group (AChem) at the ULL, which incorporated from the very beginning a pioneer research line at the university devoted to microplastics research, trying to follow a multidisciplinary approach. In particular, his group has been studying the presence of microplastics in air, soils, food, coastal and deep-sea sediments and also in the water column, monitoring environmental contaminants in microplastics, and determining the microplastic content in different living organisms as well as improving analytical methodologies for microplastics determination and analysis.

Center for Intelligent Chemical Instrumentation, Clippinger Laboratories, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Ohio University, Athens, USA;
Peter de Boves Harrington is Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Ohio University, where he has taught since 1989. An internationally recognized analytical chemist and chemometrician, his research combines spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to solve problems in forensic science, food and botanical authentication, and chemical instrumentation. He earned his PhD in analytical chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his BS in chemistry from Randolph-Macon College. Harrington has directed Ohio University’s forensic chemistry programs and the Center for Intelligent Chemical Instrumentation, mentored numerous graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, and collaborated internationally with academic, government, and industrial laboratories. His honors include the Eastern Analytical Symposium Award for Outstanding Achievement in Chemometrics, election as a Fellow of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, and recognition as an Ohio University President’s Research Scholar. He remains active in research, teaching, publishing, and professional leadership.
