Summary

Rosa Mª Toledano received her PhD degree from the University of Castilla-La Mancha in 2012. Her thesis was awarded with the PhD Extraordinary Award granted by Castile-La Mancha University, for the academic year 2012/13. Her research was focused on the development of analytical methods based on-line liquid chromatography coupled to gas chromatography (LC-GC) using the TOTAD interface. The purpose of her thesis was to improve the TOTAD interface to do it most versatile and increase its applicability as well as to develop new analytical methods of complex samples. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Van’t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS) at the Analytical Chemistry Research Group led by Professor Dr. Peter Schoenmakers, in the University of Amsterdam (UvA), where she is carrying out research on characterization of synthetic polymers with industrial interest by multidimensional techniques such as comprehensive liquid chromatography (LCxLC).
