Meet Sebastiaan Eeltink

Calling: “I was lucky to meet the right people during my studies who provided me not only good advice but also gave me the opportunity to conduct a PhD study and post-doctoral research.”
 
Regret: “I like what I am doing, so I would probably choose a career in chemistry again. But I also studied music at the conservatory – a combination of the two would be ideal!”

Emphasis: “My research aims at the design, development, and characterization of novel materials (including nanostructured monoliths and coatings in capillaries and microfluidic chips) and separation strategies for liquid chromatography.”
 
Respect: James Jorgenson and Peter Schoenmakers
 
Hope: “Establish a dynamic research team and try to break new ground.”
 
Prediction: “Spatial three-dimensional chromatography: this is a new concept in which components are separated in the space domain with each peak being characterized by its X, Y, Z coordinates in the separation body. The technology potentially provides unparalleled performance in a short analysis time.”
 
Advice: “Try to set-up good collaborations and share knowledge.”
