Giorgia Purcaro is a full professor of Analytical Chemistry at Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech, University of Liège (Belgium). She has a Ph.D. in Food Science from the University of Udine (Italy). She spent part of her postdoctoral work at the University of Messina (Italy) and at Dartmouth College (USA) before being appointed at Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech (Belgium) in 2018.Her main areas of research are the optimization of hyphenated chromatographic techniques and sustainable sample preparation workflows. The primary areas of application are related to contaminant analysis in food and food quality, with a primary focus on lipids and volatile compounds. Her primary goal is to demonstrate the robustness of hyphenated chromatographic techniques and facilitate their routine application, thereby ensuring more cost-effective, informative, and effective analytical methods.She has significantly contributed to the advancement in the field of MOSH and MOAH analysis in food, by developing an LC-GC×GC-FID/MS and the associated dedicated software in collaboration with LECO, and she is constantly improving the sample preparation method to increase accuracy in the determination.She received the Leslie Ettre Award in 2010 for her most outstanding contribution to capillary chromatography and the J. Phillips Award in 2015 for her contributions to the field of comprehensive two-dimensional GC. She was included in the list “Top40under40”.She has been a co-author of more than 150 papers and more than 300 conference presentations, with an H-index of 35.
