At the 2023 Gulf Coast Conference, Spectroscopy spoke with Elena Hagemann of Metrohm USA, about spectroscopy in relation to petrochemicals. This interview was one of four conducted live at GCC 2023.
Hagemann spoke during the 2023 Gulf Coast Conference (GCC) in Galveston, Texas, with one of her lectures being titled, "Spectroscopy in Petrochemicals: Elevating Quality, Boosting Efficiency, and Driving Profits."
Elena Hagemann is the Product Manager for Process Spectroscopy at Metrohm USA in Riverview, Florida. She holds a master’s degree in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry from the Applied University of Aalen, Germany, where her master thesis focused on Karl Fischer Titration, NIR Spectroscopy, and Multivariate Data Analysis. Elena joined the Metrohm Group in August 2013 and started with Metrohm USA in January 2018, focusing on Raman and NIR Spectroscopy.
Spectroscopy sat down with Hagemann to discuss the following questions:
