BRIEF BIOGRAPHY Peter W. Carr received his B.S. in Chemistry (1965) from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn where he worked with Professor Louis Meites, and a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry at Pennsylvania State University (1969) under the guidance of Professor Joseph Jordan. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Georgia in 1969, he was a research assistant and associate at Brookhaven National Laboratory during the summers of 1965 and 1966 and a postdoctoral associate at Stanford University Medical School (1968). From 1969 until 1977 he was first an Assistant Professor and then Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Georgia (Athens). In 1977, Dr. Carr joined the faculty at the University of Minnesota where he became Professor of Chemistry in 1981. He has been a consultant to Leeds and Northrup, Hewlett-Packard and the 3M Company, and was the founder and first President of ZirChrom Separations Inc. of Anoka Minnesota. In 1986, he became an Associate Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Biological Process Technology at the University of Minnesota. He has been President of the Symposium on Analytical Chemistry in the Environment (1976), founder and first President of the Minnesota Chromatography Forum, and Chairman of the Subdivision of Chromatography and Separation Science of the Analytical Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society (1988-1989). Dr. Carr has served on the Editorial Advisory Boards of Analytical Chemistry, Talanta, The Microchemical Journal, LC/GC, Journal of Chromatography, Chromatographia and SeparationScience and Technology. In addition, he has participated in numerous advisory committees of the National Science Foundation and American Chemical Society, and has organized a number of symposia for National American Chemical Society meetings. Dr. Carr was the Program Chair of HPLC '94, the Eighteenth International Symposium on Column Liquid Chromatography, which was held in Minneapolis, MN on May 8-13, 1994. He has received the Leroy Sheldon Palmer Award of the Minnesota Chromatography Forum and the Merit Award of the Chicago Chromatography Discussion Group. He has also been the recipient of the Benedetti-Pichler Award from the American Microchemical Society in 1990, the Eastern Analytical Symposium, Inc. Award in Separation Science in 1993, the Stephen Dal Nogare Award of the Delaware Chromatography Forum in 1996, the 1996 ACS Award in Chromatography sponsored by SUPELCO, Inc, the ISCO Award in 1997 and the Award in Separation Science of the Eastern Analytical Symposium in 2000. He was awarded the Pittsburgh Conference Award in Analytical Chemistry in 2004. He was inducted into the Academy of Distinguished Teachers, University of Minnesota in 2002. Professor Carr and his fifty former graduate students and postdoctoral associates have published over 340 papers in a variety of areas of Analytical Chemistry, including electrochemistry, ion selective electrodes, thermochemistry, and chromatography. He holds fourteen U.S. patents in the areas related to chemical analysis and chromatography. He and Professor L. D. Bowers have jointly authored a monograph on the use of immobilized enzymes in Analytical Chemistry. Most recently, his research interests have focused on understanding the nature of solute-solvent interactions as they pertain to the prediction of retention, selectivity and optimization in chromatography. Additional areas of study include affinity chromatography, the theory of nonlinear chromatography, and the development of zirconia-based chemically stable supports for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) ands most recently ultra-fast and two dimensional HPLC. |
