  • This delegate is presenting an abstract at this event.
Professor Kennedy is the Hobart H. Willard Professor of Chemistry at the University of Michigan. He earned a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina in 1988 and was previously professor of chemistry at the University of Florida for 11 years before moving to Michigan. Prof. Kennedy’s research has focused on separations and its application to neuroscience, endocrinology, and biotechnology. A particular emphasis has been development of high speed separations, e.g., electrophoretic separations of complex mixtures in less than 10 s. Rapid separations integrated with microfluidics have been applied to screening, detection of non-covalent complexes, and chemical “sensing”. He has also been actively involved in metabolomics studies. His work has been recognized by several awards including the Golay Award, Eastern Analytical Separation Science Award, and two MERIT awards from the NIH. He has held several service posts and is presently Associate Editor of Analytical Chemistry and Director of the Microfluidics in Biomedical Sciences Training Program at Michigan.
