Roman Szucs is an Associate Professor at the Department of Analytical Chemistry, Comenius University Bratislava, Slovakia. He obtained his first degree in chemical engineering from the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava and his PhD in Chemistry from Ghent University, Belgium, under the guidance of Prof. Sandra. His PhD was followed by a two-year postdoctoral appointment at the Unilever Research Laboratory in the Netherlands. He then spent 25 years in pharmaceutical research and development at Pfizer in the United Kingdom, where he held several scientific positions up to and including Senior Research Fellow, before transitioning back to academia. During his industrial career, he also held visiting positions at Dublin City University, Ghent University, and the University of Tasmania. His research interests focus on separation science, including liquid chromatography and electrokinetic separations, with particular emphasis on the prediction of retention and elution characteristics using chemometric and machine learning approaches. He is a recipient of the Silver Jubilee Medal from The Chromatographic Society and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
