After graduating in Applied Mathematics and Physics at Witwatersrand University, John Swinley spent a year in Europe working on the development of mass spectrometers. For many years he worked in the local analytical instrumentation market and spent time at VICI AG in Switzerland training on the Pulsed Discharge Helium Ionisation Detector. John was awarded the Shimadzu trophy as "Chromatographer of the Year? by ChromSA (a division of the South African Chemical Institute) in 2008. In the early days of capillary GC he presented training courses which led to the development of many more courses together with Piet de Coning. He has presented numerous specialized courses throughout sub-Saharan Africa and has trained staff in a range of industries from brewing, gas supply, and power generation to petrochemistry. See less
