Caroline West is a full professor in analytical chemistry at the University of Orleans, France, where she is teaching separation science. Her main scientific interests lie in fundamentals of chromatographic selectivity, both in the achiral and chiral modes, in SFC and LC. She is also applying these methods, with or without hyphenation to extraction methods and/or MS, to samples of pharmaceutical interest and natural products. She has authored about 120 papers in international peer‐reviewed journals and has presented about 120 lectures in conferences. In 2015, she received the “LC‐GC Emerging Leader in Chromatography” award. She was ranked several times among the most influential people in analytical chemistry by “The Analytical Scientist” magazine (“Top 40 under 40” 2014 & 2018, “The Power List” 2019, 2020 & 2021), received the Jubilee medal from the Chromatographic Society (2021) and the JFK Huber Lecture Award from the Austrian Society of Analytical Chemistry (2025). She is also an advisory board member for several journals in separation science (J. Chromatogr. A & Open, J. Sep. Sci., J. Pharm. Biomed. Anal., Chromatographia…).
