<h4>Welcome to “Analytically Speaking,” the podcast from LCGC International and Spectroscopy.</h4>
In this episode, podcast host Dr. Dwight Stoll talks with Dr. Katelynn Perrault Uptmor, <a href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/articles?search=Pierre-Hugues+Stefanuto">Dr. Pierre-Hugues Stefanuto</a>, and <a href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/articles?search=Petr+Vozka">Dr. Petr Vozka</a> about the multidimensional chromatography workshop, better known as the MDCW for short. Kate, PH, Petr, and Dwight are co-organizers of the MDCW workshop, which was held most recently at California State University, Los Angeles.
In their conversation they discuss how the MDCW is different from, and similar to, conventional scientific conferences. They reflect on <a href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/events/436">the most recent (15th) meeting</a>, including highlights from both the technical and social programs, and in the impact on the local student community at Cal State LA. Then, they switch gears and look forward to <a href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/events/518">the 16th MDCW</a>, which will be held February 3-5 at the University of Liege, in Liege, Belgium.

<h4>More about our hosts:</h4>
<h5>Dwight Stoll, PhD:</h5>
Dwight R. Stoll is a professor of chemistry at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. He received his PhD from the University of Minnesota, under Professor Peter Carr, working on the development of fast, comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC). Stoll’s current primary research focus is on the development of 2D-LC for both targeted and untargeted analyses. Active research projects in his laboratory touch on most aspects of multidimensional separation methodologies, including optimization strategies, characterization of selectivity in reversed-phase LC, instrument development, and applications in biopharmaceutical analysis. Stoll is the author or co-author of more than 80 peer-reviewed publications and six book chapters and has instructed numerous short courses in 2D-LC. In 2011 he was the recipient of LCGC’s Emerging Leader in Chromatography Award. In 2017 he received the Georges Guiochon Faculty Fellowship, and was recognized with an Agilent Technologies Thought Leader Award. He is also a member of LCGC’s editorial advisory board and is the editor of the “LC Troubleshooting” column in LCGC.
<h5>Jerome Workman, Jr., PhD:</h5>
Jerome (Jerry) J. Workman, Jr. is the Senior Technical Editor for LCGC and Spectroscopy. He has held positions as CTO, executive VP, senior research fellow, director, and senior scientist at companies of all sizes, from start-ups to world-leading corporations. He has been an adjunct faculty member of four universities and advised multiple graduate students. He has more than 75 U.S. and international patent applications and 30 issued U.S. and international patents and multiple trade secrets, as well as 500+ technical publications, and 20 reference book volumes on a broad range of spectroscopy and data processing techniques. He has received multiple awards from scientific societies, and has taught annual courses in spectroscopy, chemometrics, and statistics for the AOAC, ACS, ISA, FACSS, and at several universities and corporations. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemists (FAIC), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the Royal Society of Chemistry in the UK (FRSC, CChem, CSci). Jerry holds B.A and M.A degrees from Saint Mary&#39;s University of Minnesota, and a PhD degree from Columbia Pacific University working in near-infrared spectroscopy. He is an alumnus of both Columbia University Business School and the MIT Sloan School of Management.

Around the world with The Multidimensional Chromatography Workshop

Los Angeles, CA – This January, Cal State LA became a hub for scientists and researchers as it hosted the 15th Multidimensional Chromatography Workshop. From January 10 to 12, 2024, the event brought together leading experts and those new to the field of multidimensional chromatography, focusing on the latest techniques and developments.
Organized by Drs. Katelynn Perrault Uptmor (William &amp; Mary), Pierre-Hugues Stefanuto (University of Liège), Dwight Stoll (Gustavus Adolphus College), and Petr Vozka (California State LA), the workshop featured talks and presentations on key trends in multidimensional gas and liquid chromatography from both academic and industry leaders.
