DESCRIPTION:Prof. Antje Potthast\, University of Natural Resources and Lif
 e Sciences Vienna (BOKU)\nThe lecture summarizes recent developments from 
 our lab for the chemical analysis of cellulose and lignin. For the lignin 
 case we are trying to add speed to lignin analysis to allow a higher throu
 ghput without compromising accuracy and precision. Complementary to the sp
 eed techniques\, also recent general developments\, such as two-dimensiona
 l chromatography systems for the analysis of lignosulfonates or approaches
  to utilize chemometrics in combination with chromatographic methods\, are
  discussed. In the case of cellulose\, our research oscillates between che
 mical modifications of pulps\, fibers\, paper\, and historical materials a
 nd the development of associated analytical processes in order to better c
 haracterize either the material itself or the modification processes. The 
 lecture will illustrate this with selected examples.\n\nBio:\n\n\nAntje PO
 TTHAST has studied Chemistry at Dresden University of Technology and was a
  visiting scientist at NC State University in Raleigh\, USA\, where she al
 so worked as a postdoc. She did her habilitation in Wood Chemistry at BOKU
  University Vienna\, where she is currently full professor at the Departme
 nt of Chemistry\, Institute of Chemistry of Renewables. Antje Potthast con
 ducts research in the field of biopolymer chemistry\, in particular the an
 alysis and modification of cellulose and lignin (structure\, modification\
 , utilization\, analytical method development) in very different research 
 areas also including historic materials and paper aging and mechanisms. Sh
 e is deputy head of the Austrian Biorefinery Center Tulln (ABCT) and leads
  the doctoral school ABC&M ("Advanced biorefineries - chemistry and materi
 als")\, which trains future biorefinery experts working in university rese
 arch\, policy consulting or industry. Antje Potthast has published +390 SC
 I papers.\n\n\n\n
