André van Roon

André van Roon serves as a lecturer in Analytical Chemistry at Leiden University of Applied Sciences, where he has taught since 2007. His academic foundation stems from the University of Amsterdam, where he completed his environmental chemistry degree and subsequent research work.

His educational background includes:

• Graduated in 1998 as an environmental chemist from the Department of Environmental and Toxicological Chemistry at the University of Amsterdam

Van Roon's research expertise spans environmental chemistry, molecular modeling, and analytical techniques. His early career focused on QSAR modeling, environmental fate prediction, and LC-MS analysis of organic pollutants in water systems. Since 2007, he has shifted toward educational development in statistics and chemometrics, emphasizing practical data analysis applications for chemistry students. His work bridges theoretical environmental modeling with hands-on analytical methodology, particularly through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques. This dual focus on environmental systems modeling and modern analytical data science reflects his commitment to preparing students for contemporary analytical challenges in both research and industry settings.

His professional trajectory demonstrates a clear transition from active environmental contaminant research to specialized chemistry education, with recent years dedicated to advancing statistical and chemometric teaching frameworks within analytical chemistry curricula.
