Analytical Chemistry & Chemometrics

Research group

The Analytical Chemistry & Chemometrics research group focuses on chemometrics. This is the discipline within chemistry that develops methods to extract relevant information from chemical data. Research of the group completely focuses on data analysis, which is chemometrics. This ranges from simple visualisation of data to prediction of, for instance, concentrations or finding biologically interesting molecules in complex mixtures.

The research group is part of Institute of Molecules and Materials (IMM).

Team Science Award 2022 for TD Lab

TDLab wins Team Science Award 2022

The team of the Life Science Trace Detection Laboratory was awarded the Faculty of Science Team Science Award in recognition for their results and team effort in their research during the 4 Days Marches.

Industry 4.0 digitization process- and manufacturing

EBI: Engineering Business Intelligence

A novel generation of Industry 4.0 algorithms offers an opportunity for considerable evidence-based value creation in Dutch Process Industry, allowing a more comprehensive and real-time view on process performance.

Research

Research of the Analytical Chemistry & Chemometrics group is centred around two main research philosophies.

Methodological Chemometrics

(Further) development of chemometric methods to tackle new challenges in chemistry and beyond: methodological research on chemometrical techniques like global optimisation methods, and multivariate statistics.

Application Oriented Research

In which these methods are applied and validated for pioneering science in chemistry and biology. This encompasses for instance image processing and spectroscopic analysis (NIR, LC-MS/MS) for industrial and medical applications.

Projects

air pollution

TRIAGE

TRIAGE develops an advanced air pollution monitoring system using photonic sensing technology. This portable, high-performance device detects molecular gases with high precision in real-time, filling gaps in local community air quality monitoring.

detection of animal diseases

OBSeRVeD

A consortium is developing a sensor to detect disease-specific odours from animals, aiming to provide farmers with early warnings. The focus is on studying volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as potential biomarkers in e-nose-based sensors.
