Article

University of Bonn scientists monitored how column properties can affect the dynamics between characteristic and elution temperatures in gas chromatography (GC).

Muhammad Qamar Farooq is a scientist in the synthetics separations team at Amgen. His work focuses on analysis and purification of small and hybrid molecules using chromatographic techniques. He completed his PhD in 2022 under supervision of Dr. Jared Anderson at Iowa State University. His graduate research was focused on utilization of ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents for analytical separations. He is also an executive committee member of ACS SCSC (Subdivision of Chromatography & Separations Chemistry).
