Paul J. Gemperline

Dr. Paul J. Gemperline (born 1955) is an American analytical chemist and chemometrician. He is a Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at East Carolina University(ECU) located in Greenville, North Carolina and has been the recipient of several scientific awards, including the 2003 Eastern Analytical Symposium Award in Chemometrics. He is author of more than 60 publications in the field of Chemometrics.[1] Dr. Gemperline is currently Dean of the Graduate School at ECU.[2]

Educational background

He graduated from Cleveland State University with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry in 1978 and received a Ph.D. in Clinical Bioanalytical Chemistry in 1982. His dissertation was titled, "The Design of the Laboratory Network DISNET."

Scientific career

Gemperline came to the notice of a larger scientific community in 1984 with the publication of a paper describing DISNET in the Journal of Automated Methods and Management in Chemistry.[3] (The journal title was changed to Journal of Analytical Methods in Chemistry in 2013.) Gemperline and his colleagues provided methodologies which underlay the improvements in calibration accuracy, computer-based data acquisition and mathematical analysis in chemometrics. The qualitative advances helped open new scientific fields such as molecular modeling and QSAR, cheminformatics, the ‘-omics’ fields of genomics, proteomics, metabonomics and metabolomics, process modeling and process analytical technology.

Gemperline has been most influential by dispersing knowledge of his Chemometric methodologies through his publications. Better process methods can create inflection points that became the foundation for radical improvements and transitions in the scientific enterprise. It can be decades before the implications of particular advances are intuited, especially those related to the basic training of the next generations of chemists.

Gemperline has been dean of the Graduate School at East Carolina University since 2009 and a chemistry faculty member since 1982. He has held several administrative positions at ECU, including associate vice chancellor for research and graduate studies for seven years.[4]

Gemperline currently serves as the Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Chemometrics.[5]
