Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry

Professor Jose Alonso obtained his PhD in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Oviedo in 1985 and subsequently became a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Plymouth before returning to Oviedo in 1987. For five years he was a scientific officer of the European Commission, based in Karlsruhe and in 1995 returned to Oviedo, where he is now Head of Mass Spectrometry and Full Professor of Analytical Chemistry. Professor Alonso's research has yielded over 140 scientific publications and he is a regular invited speaker at conferences. In the commercial sector Professor Alonso is a founding member of a spin-out company dedicated to the commercialisation of isotopically-labelled compounds. During her PhD and Post-doc research, Dr. Mariella Moldovan has worked with platinum group elements analysis and the determination of their environmental pathways and effects. Her current research interests are focused on the development of analytical methods based on the use of stable enriched isotopes and elemental mass spectrometry. Dr Pablo Rodriguez Gonzalez has carried out his PhD and his postdoc in the field of Isotope dilution analysis for speciation and organic analysis. He is the co-author of about 30 publications in international journals on IDMS using different inorganic and organic mass spectrometric techniques. He has written in collaboration with Prof. Garcia Alonso a tutorial review in 2005 which has been already cited 82 times since its publication in 2005.
