Currently, he is Senior Full Professor in Analytical Chemistry at Ghent University, where he also leads 乐天堂app下载 鈥楢tomic & Mass Spectrometry 鈥� A&MS鈥� research group that is specialized in 乐天堂app下载 determination, speciation and isotopic analysis of (ultra)trace elements via ICP-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). His group studies fundamentally-oriented aspects of 乐天堂app下载 technique and develops methods for solving challenging scientific problems in interdisciplinary contexts. Specific topics of research include 2-D and 3-D elemental mapping by means of laser ablation (LA) 鈥� ICP-MS, high-precision isotopic analysis using multi-collector ICP-MS and single-event (single-particle and single-cell) ICP-MS. Frank is (co)author of more than 400 papers in peer-reviewed journals. In 2011, he received a 鈥楨uropean Plasma Spectrochemistry Award鈥�, in 2013, he was designated 鈥楩ellow of 乐天堂app下载 Society for Applied Spectroscopy 鈥� SAS鈥� and in 2017, he received 乐天堂app下载 鈥楲ester Strock Award鈥� from SAS. Frank has been 乐天堂app下载 chair of 乐天堂app下载 editorial board of JAAS from June 2012 to June 2016 and has returned as a board member in 2020.
