Biography

Dr. Rasangi Wimalasinghe is a distinguished professor in the Department of Chromatography at the University of Connecticut. Known for her expertise in separation science, Dr. Wimalasinghe has made significant contributions to advancing chromatographic techniques for applications in environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical research, and food safety. Dr. Wimalasinghe earned her B.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of Colombo in Sri Lanka and completed her Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry at the University of Oxford, UK. Her doctoral research focused on developing novel stationary phases for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to enhance the analysis of complex chemical mixtures. Following her Ph.D., she completed postdoctoral training at the University of California, Berkeley, where she worked on coupling chromatography with mass spectrometry for high-throughput analyses. Since joining the University of Connecticut in 2013, Dr. Wimalasinghe has led groundbreaking research in chromatography, emphasizing green analytical practices and sustainable separation methods. Her work includes the development of high-resolution and multidimensional chromatographic techniques that improve the accuracy and efficiency of complex sample analysis. She is particularly recognized for her efforts in integrating advanced materials into chromatographic systems to enhance selectivity and reduce environmental impact. Dr. Wimalasinghe has published over 120 peer-reviewed articles in esteemed journals, including Journal of Chromatography A, Analytical Chemistry, and Nature Protocols. She is the co-author of the textbook Sustainable Chromatography: Innovations and Applications, which is widely used in academic and industrial settings. Her research excellence has been recognized with numerous awards, including the American Chemical Society (ACS) Separation Science Award and the International Chromatography Society (ICS) Research Excellence Medal.
