Petr Vozka is an associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry at California State University, Los Angeles, where he directs the Complex Chemical Composition Analysis Laboratory (C3AL). He holds a B.S. in Chemistry and Chemical Technologies, an M.S. in Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Environment from the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague (UCT Prague), and a Ph.D. from Purdue University specializing in the analytical chemistry of liquid transportation fuels. His group develops and applies state-of-the-art methodologies, particularly comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) coupled with mass spectrometry, to resolve the composition of challenging chemical mixtures. Application areas span alternative fuels, microplastics, and forensic matrices such as fingerprints. He has authored peer-reviewed publications that contribute to the measurement of science underpinning fuels and environmental systems. He is a committee member of the Multidimensional Chromatography Workshop (MDCW) and was named a Rising Star in Separation Science by LCGC in 2023.
