Research grouping   Chemistry and Forensic Sciences

Dr Xavier Conlan is an early career researcher who has developed a productive research group in key
areas of analytical chemistry. The research revolves around the development of separation science
technology coupled with novel detection systems in order to probe complex chemical, systems. Dr Conlan
has developed key multidimensional liquid chromatography technology which has been applied to key
problems in food science, biomedical science and industrial processes.
