Bio of Prof. Ryszard Lobinski：

Ryszard Lobinski graduated as engineer from the Warsaw University of Technology in Poland in 1986, where he obtained his PhD in 1989. He is currently research director at the French National Research Center (CNRS), full professor at the Warsaw University of Technology, and honorary professor at the East China University of Technology. In the years 2015 - 2024, he was the director of the Institute of Analytical and Physical Chemistry for the Environment and Materials (IPREM) in Pau, France. From 2005 to 2009, he served as Vice President and then President of the Analytical Chemistry Division of IUPAC. He was admitted as a Fellow of the RSC (UK) in 2007, and received the CNRS Silver Medal in 2006, the JSPS Award (Japan) in 2011 and the title of doctor honoris causa from the University of Huelva (Spain) in 2024.

In the early 1990s, Ryszard Lobinski was among the pioneers of analytical methods based on coupling separation techniques with plasma-source element-specific detection for speciation analysis. These contributions led to the emergence of metallomics—a field dedicated to comprehensively probing the interactions and functional connections of metal ions and their species with genes, proteins, metabolites, and other biomolecules in biological systems.
