BCS symposium with award ceremony for the 5th D.L. Massart Award in Chemometrics
12th Chemometrics Symposium
The programme aims to appeal to a wide audience, with a mix of technical talks and applications in different domains.
Agnieszka Smolinska, now at the University of Maastricht, but at the Radboud University Nijmegen when working towards her PhD is this year’s winner of the Massart Award. She will present the thesis work that earned her the award. It is about medical applications of chemometrics and similar tools.
Thomas De Beer, will talk about Process Analytical Technology. PAT refers to the application of modern methods for monitoring and controlling pharmaceutical production. On one hand, the pharma world is very much driven by innovation, on the other hand, its production is strictly regulated, which, in the past, has been an obstacle to innovation in that area. But the ban was lifted and the industry has embraced new sensors, and the chemometrical methods required to deal with the data they produce.
Morten Arendt Rasmussen will present ASCA, a crossing of classical and multi- or even megavariate statistics and put it into the context of, among other things, Multiblock, LDA and AnovaPCA .
Jacob Bart works in chemical industry, in a group that has implemented many applications of chemometrics. He will talk about such applications, and the practical and technical challenges they faced during their implementation.
