A native of
Czechoslovakia, MILOS V. NOVOTNY received his scientific training
at the University of Brno: undergraduate in Chemistry/Physics; doctorate
in Biochemistry (1965). During the following four years, Dr. Novotny
held research positions in Czechoslovakia (Academy of Sciences),
Sweden (Royal Karolinska Institute) and the United States (University
of Houston), all in various areas of analytical chemistry. Since
he became a faculty member at Indiana University (1971), Novotny
has developed a strong research program with emphasis on analytical
separation science and bioanalytical chemistry. He became a full
professor in 1978 and the James H. Rudy Professor of Chemistry in
1988. In 1999, he was named Distinguished Professor and in 2000,
the Lilly Chemistry Alumni Chair. During his professional
career of over 30 years, he has played a pivotal role in conceptualization
and application of analytical separation methods at very small sample
scale. Beginning with capillary gas chromatography in the mid-1960s,
Novotny made substantial contributions to the area through preparation
of high-efficiency separation capillaries and understanding their
surface chemistry and conceptual applications of the method to biochemical
and environmental problems. Professor Novotny pioneered the methods
of microcolumn liquid chromatography, its coupling with electrospray
mass spectrometry and microscale biochemical investigations. Together
with Milton Lee, Novotny published in 1981 a pioneering study on
capillary supercritical fluid chromatography. He has been among
the key scientists developing the field of capillary electrophoresis
(CE). Particularly noteworthy are carbohydrate separations, ultrasensitive
peptide mapping, and pulsed-field CE of large biomolecules. While Novotny's
role in developing modern separation tools for the benefit of other
scientists has been substantial, he is known to go beyond the development
of methodologies and instrumentation. For example, he has made visible
contributions to the biochemistry of olfaction, glycobiochemistry,
and biochemistry of the oxidative stress. He has been responsible
for the first definitive pheromones ever identified in a mammal
(house mouse). At the interface of analytical and physical chemistry,
he has contributed to a better understanding of the processes associated
with separations. Novotny has
been an author of over 370 journal articles, reviews, books and
patents. Novotny's international reputation in analytical chemistry
and separation science is reflected in more than 30 awards, medals
and other distinctions. At Indiana University, Professor Novotny
has also been the mentor to numerous graduate students and postdoctorals
who have later assumed leadership in separation science. Selected Honors:
