| IDAEA - CSIC | Chemometrics is a research line of recent creation in IDAEA and in the CSIC. The fundamental effort of this research line has consisted in the development of the scientific activity in the field of chemometrics. A concerted effort for the opening of this investigation activity to environmental chemistry and to problems related with environmental pollution has been performed. Chemometrics methodologies are cross-linked with other chemical and biochemical disciplines and can be easily connected to any other research lines where modern data analysis tools are urgently needed. In this sense, this research activity will be fundamentally oriented towards resolving global change type of problems, both those concerning environment and climate. This approach is called environmental chemometrics, which is the name that identifies our group at present. | Dr. Romà Tauler |
| Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona | Our major research interest is focused on molecular analytical spectrometry, including UV/VIS, FTIR, NIR, circular dichroism and molecular fluorescence. Topics under study in this group are the application of these techniques to the development of rapid methods for analytical control in several industrial fields (textiles, leather, electroplating, etc.) with special attention to pharmaceutical analysis by NIR applying multivariate calibration techniques. Other topics are the use of multivariate techniques to multicomponent resolution by kinetic measurements and chiral determination by capillary electrophoresis and circular dichroism. In the present time the group also is researching about Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) and Near Infrared Chemical Image (NIRCI). | Dr. Santiago Maspoch |

| Universidad de Burgos | El grupo de investigación en Quimiometría y Cualimetría de la
Universidad de Burgos es un grupo consolidado cuya actividad
investigadora se inicia en 1988. Está especializado en el modelado de
sistemas bajo observación indirecta de modo que utilizando el
conocimiento químico, los métodos analíticos instrumentales, la
estadística y los métodos computacionales investiga en: • El diseño y selección de procedimientos de medida y de experimentación óptimos. • El desarrollo, validación e implementación de modelos capaces de convertir los datos en información, la información en conocimiento y el conocimiento en capacidad de decisión. • El desarrollo y aplicación de estrategias (6-sigma, multivariante, multivía, etc.) para el control, la garantía y la mejora de la calidad de procedimientos, procesos y productos. • La adaptación de los calibrados multivariantes-multivía de las técnicas y/o instrumentos acoplados a los requerimientos de las normativas oficiales (ISO, Directivas europeas, etc.) ampliando la potencialidad en el análisis sistemático de la nueva instrumentación química. | Dra.

| Universitat Rovira i Virgili | The activity of the Chemometrics, Qualimetrics and Nanosensors Group focuses on two main areas. On the one hand, the Group focuses on the development and application of multivariate data analysis methods to fully exploit measurements from NIR, MIR, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectrophotometry, MS spectrometry, hyphenated techniques (HPLC-DAD, GC-MS,…) and spectral imaging for a variety of applications, ranging from the petrochemical industry to the food industry. The group investigates multivariate representation, classification and calibration methods that allow, for example, real-time analysis of the qualitative and quantitative development of systems (such as certain industrial chemical processes), classify (bio)chemical samples, determine the geographical origin of food products (wine and olive oil), and solve environmental problems. | Dr. Xavier Rius |
| Universidade de Santiago de Compostela | The research group in Chromatography and Chemometrics joint a number of professors and researchers belonging to the Department of Analytical Chemistry, Nutrition and Food Sciences in the University of Santiago de Compostela. Research of this group is carried out in the laboratory for analytical chemistry of the Institute of Research and Food Analyses also in the University. | Dr. Rafael Cela |
