Research Objectives
Chemometrics is the discipline within Chemistry that develops methods to obtain information by optimizing experimental design, data processing, calibration, quality control and organisation of the analytical process. Increasingly, Chemometrical methodologies and techniques are also applied for the optimization of molecular structures with respect to their properties and (bio)chemical activity and for the processing and interpretation of (medical) multivariate images.
The department is a member of the Working Group on Chemometrics of the Section Analytical Chemistry from the Royal Netherlands Chemical Society (KNCV).
Questions and remarks can be sent to our secretary, Brigitte Loozen (B.Loozen@science.ru.nl).

UNILEVER Research Prize for Jasper Engel (PhD)

On November 24, Jasper Engel received the Unilever Research Prize 2011. The Unilever Research Prize shows Unilevers appreciation for the outstanding work of talented Master of Science students. During his master study, Jasper did not only find a way to prevent pollution caused by the production of solar cells, he also developed a method to separate different brands of beer. More info
