Pavel Jandera Young Scientist Award
About Pavel Jandera
Pavel Jandera was a world-leading analytical chemist who devoted his entire professional life to research in the field of high-performance liquid chromatography. During his scientific career, he worked at the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Pardubice, Czech Republic.
His greatest contribution to the field of liquid chromatography was the introduction of a comprehensive theory of liquid chromatography with programmed elution conditions. He was also involved in the research of gradient elution techniques in preparative chromatography, modeling retention and selectivity in various phase systems, preparing organic monolithic microcolumns, and, last but not least, in the development of theory and practical applications of two-dimensional liquid chromatography, primarily in the comprehensive form.
