On hand were many members of the chromatography community, including presenters Robert Classon of Shimadzu and Ron Majors of Agilent Technologies.
The awards themselves were the same as last year, with an Emerging Leader Award presented to the scientist making the greatest strides at an early stage of his or her career and a Lifetime Achievement Award presented to an industry veteran whose career has significantly influenced and advanced the field of separation science.
The 2009 Emerging Leader Award went to Kevin Schug, an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Arlington, where he leads a group of nine researchers whose work focuses primarily on LC–MS research, specifically ESI-MS/HPLC.
Winners of the LCGC Emerging Leader Award
This year's Lifetime Achievement Award went to a well known figure in the world of analytical chemistry, Harold McNair, professor emeritus of Virginia Tech's chemistry department.
