Talk Title: Mechanistic aspects in enantioselective liquid-phase separations
Paola Peluso is a Senior Researcher at the Institute of Biomolecular Chemistry, Italian National Council of Research (ICB-CNR), and Group Leader of the Unit of Enantioselective Chromatography and Molecular Recognition at the ICB-CNR in Sassari. In 2023, she achieved the national scientific qualification as Associate Professor in the Italian higher education system for the disciplinary field Analytical and Physical Chemistry. Currently, Paola Peluso is Associate Researcher at the Institute of Physical and Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences, at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (Georgia) where she serves as Invited Lecturer for the course of Practical Computational Chemistry. Currently, she is Italian Coordinator of the Italy (CNR)-Georgia (SRNSFG) Bilateral Project 2025-2026, and participant in the Project ASYMHOLE (Asymmetric Catalysis Promoted by Sigma-Hole Interactions) funded by Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) (France). Paola Peluso is a co-author of 80 peer-reviewed papers (H-index 24) and of three book chapters. Invited speaker at international congresses and meetings, she was a Member of the Scientific Committee of the 11th-13th Annual Symposium on Physical and Analytical Chemistry (Tbilisi, Georgia, 2022-2024). Paola Peluso is a Member of the Editorial Board of Electrophoresis (Wiley) and of the Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis Open (Elsevier). Her research activity mainly concerns liquid-phase enantioseparations and related recognition mechanisms, computational and experimental identification and quantification of noncovalent interactions in liquid-phase separation systems.
