Dr. Fabrice G. Gritti earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry and Physics of Condensed Matter from the University of Bordeaux I in 2001. He then worked as a research scientist with Professor Georges Guiochon at the University of Tennessee, a collaboration that lasted until 2014. In 2015, he joined Waters Corporation, where he continues to contribute his expertise to advancing chromatographic separation science as a Distinguished Research Scientist.

Dr. Gritti’s research focuses on solid-to-liquid adsorption thermodynamics and mass transfer in chromatographic porous media. His overarching goal is to deepen the understanding of separation and mass transfer mechanisms in existing liquid chromatography (LC) techniques, while driving the development of new column and system technologies that are firmly grounded in scientific principles and responsive to societal needs.

Throughout his career, Dr. Gritti has authored more than 300 peer-reviewed publications, delivered over 100 keynote lectures, presented more than 40 seminars worldwide advancing the field of chromatographic science, and is the inventor of 16 patents. His contributions have been recognized through numerous awards, including:

• The Chromatographic Society Jubilee Medal (2013)
• The JFK Huber Lecture Award (2019)
• The Eastern Analytical Symposium Award for Outstanding Achievements in Separation Science (2022)
• The Csaba Horvath Memorial Award (2023)
• The A.J.P. Martin Medal (2024)

Dr. Gritti’s work continues to shape the future of separation science, bridging fundamental research with practical innovation to deliver technologies that serve both the academic and industry communities at large.
