CHARLES H. LOCHMÜLLER

SUMMARY BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Charles H. Lochmüller (b. May 4, 1940 New York, NY) is Professor of Chemistry and of Biochemical Engineering at Duke University (Asst.('69-'74), Assoc.('75-79); Chair, Department of Chemistry (1982-87); Director of Graduate Studies in Biochemical Engineering ( '89-90 ); Director of the Center for Biochemical Engineering ('90-'94). He came to Duke after two years postdoctoral at Purdue University ('67-'69) with L. B. Rogers and graduate work (M.S. '65, Ph.D. '68) at Fordham University with Michael Cefola.

A Fellow of the Royal Chemical Society and of the American Institute of Chemists, he has served as Chairman of the Analytical Division of the American Chemical Society (1983-84). He is an elected member of the Committee of Revision, United States Pharmacopoeial Convention (1985-90; '90-95; '95 - 2000) He served as an advisor to the USEPA on Environmental Assessment Programs and as a member of numerous review panels including the Integrated Air Cancer Project. He was appointed by the National Research Council to serve on the Analytical Chemistry Panel which advises and evaluates the programs of the Center for Analytical Chemistry - National Bureau of Standards (now NIST) ('87-'90).

He is Editor-in Chief of Critical Reviews in Analytical Chemistry , Associate Editor-Isolation and Purification and serves or served on the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences, the Journal of Chromatographic Science, of Chemometrics, the Editorial Advisory Board for Chemically Modified Surfaces, the Advisory Board of the Handbook of Trace Substances and has been co-author of the Analytical Chemistry-Fundamental Reviews review of Liquid Chromatography and Ion exchange.

In more than 135 published papers, his interests have ranged to include such diverse areas as analytical robotics, the application of chemometrics to retention prediction in RPLC, the analysis of low resolution spectra, and to studies of polymer and rubber pyrolysis and ignition to proton-induced x-ray emission analysis, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance but his main efforts have been in the area of separation science especially in the molecular basis for selectivity in chromatography. He consults with industry in the area of chromatographic instrument design, bonded-phase chemistry and large-scale separations.

He is the author of three chapters on gas chromatography in instrumental analysis texts, a chapter on bonded phase chemistry in a handbook on liquid chromatography, the volume on Liquid Chromatography of the latest edition of Physical Methods in Chemistry and has taught numerous courses on separation methods including many invited lectures on various advanced topics. He has served on the organizing committee of and has chaired numerous symposia sponsored by a variety of learned societies. In addition, he has offered lectures in both the Soviet Union and the Peoples Republic of China under the sponsorship of the Academies of Science of those nations. In 1985, he received the Pioneer in Laboratory Robotics Award sponsored by the International Symposium on Laboratory Robotics, in 1987 the American Chemical Society Award in Chromatography, in 1988 The Distinguished N. Carolina Chemist Award of the N. Carolina Section-American Institute of Chemists and in 1997 The Societal Medal of the Estonian Chemical Society and Life Member [hon.] in that Society..
