Kevin A. Schug is a Full Professor and Shimadzu Distinguished Professor of Analytical Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at The University of Texas (UT) at Arlington. He joined the faculty at UT Arlington in 2005 after completing a Ph.D. in Chemistry at Virginia Tech under the direction of Prof. Harold M. McNair and a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Vienna under Prof. Wolfgang Lindner. Research in the Schug group spans fundamental and applied areas of separation science and mass spectrometry. Schug was named the LCGC Emerging Leader in Chromatography in 2009, and most recently has been named the 2012 American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry Young Investigator in Separation Science awardee.

The LCGC Blog: Working with Data Scientists to Improve Online Chemical Extraction and Analysis

This instalment of the LCGC Blog investigates fundamental relationships between the structures of molecules and their interaction with different materials, in the context of online supercritical fluid extraction–supercritical fluid chromatography (SFE–SFC).

Working with Data Scientists to Improve Online Chemical Extraction and Analysis

We analytical chemists have a lot to gain by applying machine learning to our field—such as by using it to efficiently reach optimal conditions for challenging separations.

Accredited Forensics Laboratories Are Not Properly Validating and Controlling Their Blood Alcohol Determination Methods

The lack of proper method validation has important implications in blood alcohol concentration (BAC) determinations. We examine this issue, addressing the importance of gas chromatography (GC) for BAC determination, why certain validation procedures are important, and why accreditation bodies need to step up their game.
