About

Hubert H. Girault is a pioneering figure in electrochemistry and analytical chemistry, renowned for his groundbreaking work at the interface of electrochemistry, microfluidics, and mass spectrometry. His research has fundamentally advanced the understanding of charge transfer at liquid-liquid interfaces and the development of novel electrochemical sensors and energy conversion systems. Among his most influential contributions is the development of a compatible buffer system for coupling capillary electrophoresis with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), which, despite its modest citation count, represents a critical technical innovation for bioanalytical separations. Girault's broader impact is immense, with his work on electrochemical interfaces, microfluidic devices, and photoelectrochemistry collectively amassing over 30,000 citations. He has authored seminal papers on the electrochemistry of water-in-oil droplets, bipolar electrochemistry, and the development of paper-based analytical devices. A highly decorated scientist, Girault has received numerous awards, including the Faraday Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and has mentored a generation of electrochemists. His legacy lies in bridging fundamental electrochemistry with practical analytical and energy applications, making him a central figure in modern physical and analytical chemistry.
