Anne Jonquieres develops new approaches for high performance polymer membranes based on a multidisciplinary education in polymer chemistry and chemical engineering. After initial works on multi-blocks copolymers, she has recently proposed new polymer architectures to overcome the common permeability/selectivity trade-off for different liquid-liquid separations of interest in the bio-fuel industry. In particular, the controlled grafting of multi-block copolymers has led to very strong permeability improvement while maintaining very high selectivity for the purification of a major European bio-fuel (ETBE) by organoselective membranes. The extension of this strategy to original organophilic membranes has also led to outstanding performances with the simultaneous increase in permeability and selectivity for butanol bio-fuel recovery.

Her research interests also include bio-based membranes obtained by the controlled modification of cellulosic derivatives and the design of new polymer membranes for CO2 separations.

Dr. Rogatsky serves as the Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Chromatography and Separation Techniques . During the last 10 years (from 2005), Dr. Rogatsky has published over 30 scientific papers in per-reviewed journals (mostly as the first author) and has presented over 50 posters and lectures. Overall, he has made more than a hundred scientific presentations and publications. Dr. Rogatsky completed his M.Sc. in physical chemistry at Belarus State University (former USSR) in 1990. He completed his PhD in bioanalytical chemistry (Bar-Ilan University, Israel) in 1998. At the end of 1999, he started his post-doctorate at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and became a faculty member since 2001 and was a mass spectrometry director at the Biomarker Analytical Resource Core. From October 2015 Dr. Rogatsky is a supervisor of the Chemical Threat Laboratory in the Division of Environmental Health Sciences at Wadsworth Center, Albany NY, USA
