Diane BeaucheminDiane Beauchemin is Professor of Chemistry at Queen's University, Kingsland, Ontario, Canada. Her research efforts are focused on inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS), aiming to understand the limitations of this technique to identifyways of alleviating them and to expand the range of application of ICPMS (including to speciation analysis and the determination of bio-accessibility). She is considered such an authority that she is regularly invited to write a critical fundamental review on ICPMS by Analytical Chemistry, the analytical journal with the highest impact factor. In addition to these reviews, she has authored over 90 scientific publications, including books and several book chapters. She co-edited Volume 5 of the Encyclopedia of Mass Spectrometry (Elsevier 2010). From 2003 to 2006, she was President of the Canadian Society for Analytical Sciences and Spectroscopy.
