Early life and education

Stalcup has described herself as a military brat, and spent her childhood in several different countries.[1] She completed her undergraduate degree in chemistry at the California State University, Sacramento, after training in southern and northern California.[2] As an undergraduate student she worked several different jobs to cover her costs.[1] She moved to Georgetown University as a doctoral researcher. Stalcup completed her doctoral research in 1988. She held a joint position as a fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Stalcup joined the Missouri University of Science and Technology as a postdoctoral fellow.[2] Early in her academic career Stalcup was introduced to chiral separation chemistry by Daniel W. Armstrong[3] and first interacted with capillary electrophoresis columns.[3]

Research and career

In 1990, Stalcup moved to the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, where she was appointed to the faculty in the Department of Chemistry. In Hawaii, Stalcup worked on carbohydrate-based phases for chiral separations. Here she proposed the use of the chiral additives sulphated-β-cyclodextrin, heparin and quinine in capillary electrophoresis.[4] The carbohydrate-based bonded phases are designed to include chiral recognition elements, and have been intelligently designed for the separation of optical isomers.[5] After six years in Hawaii, Stalcup moved to the University of Cincinnati, where she was made full professor by 2001. Whilst in the United States, Stalcup served on the advisory board of the Greater Cincinnati Water Works.

In 2012 Stalcup moved to Ireland, where she was made Director of the Irish Separation Science Cluster and Professor of Chemical Sciences at Dublin City University.[2] Stalcup serves as a council member of the Royal Society of Chemistry Analytical Division.[6]
