Anna de Juan Capdevila

Keynote Speaker Bio

Anna de Juan is a professor at the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Barcelona since 2003, where she leads the Chemometrics group. Her expertise is in the development of chemometric methods, in particular Multivariate Curve Resolution methodologies, for data fusion and analysis of complex analytical measurements, such as hyperspectral images and monitoring and control of bioanalytical and industrial processes. In the context of hyperspectral images, she has developed unmixing algorithms to adapt to multimodal measurements, time series and big data treatment. She has published numerous works in scientific journals and has been provided a large number of invited lectures in chemometrics, imaging and process analysis conferences. Since 2023, she is Associate Editor-in-chief of Journal of Chemometrics. She is also member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory systems and Analytica Chimica Acta and acted  as section editor in the reference work Comprehensive Chemometrics. She received the 4th Chemometrics Elsevier Award in 2004 and the TIC2023 award for Comprehensive Collaboration in Chemometrics in 2023. She has served as invited professor in research stages and graduate schools in Dalhousie Univ. (Canada), Univ. Lille (France), Univ. Copenhagen (Denmark), Università degli Study di Modena e Reggio Emilia (Italy) among others. She is currently president of the Spanish Society of Chemometrics and Qualimetrics and delegate of the Division of Analytical Chemistry (DAC) of EuChemS. She has organized and fostered conferences in the areas of Chemometrics, Process Analytics and Analytical Chemistry.
