Ewa Klodzinska, PhD, holds a PhD from Nicolaus Copernicus University, Faculty of Chemistry in Torun, Poland. For ten years, she has been doing a research on determination and identification of microorganisms using the electromigration techniques for the purposes of medical diagnosis. Currently she is working at the Institute for Engineering of Polymer Materials and Dyes and investigates surface characteristics of biodegradable polymer material on the basis of zeta potential measurements. She has written several original articles, monographs, and chapters in books for graduate students and scientists. She has made valuable contributions to the theory and practice of electromigration techniques, chromatography, sample preparation, and application of separation science in pharmaceutical and medical analysis. Dr. Ewa Klodzinska is a member of editorial board of ISRN Analytical Chemistry and the International Journal of Chemoinformatics and Chemical Engineering (IJCCE).
