Heinz Georg Schimmel was born October 25th,
1962 in Würzburg, Germany.
6.1987 - 4.1988, "Diplomarbeit" at
the University of Ulm on the synthesis and
chromatographic separation of metal-chelates
13.6.1988, Diploma in chemistry
10.1990 - 4.1991, Work on analysis and
quantitation of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and
dibenzofurans. Comparison of different
extraction and clean up methods for dioxines. Study
on the influence of the injection technique on the
quantitation of PCDD/DF. Comparison of the response
behaviour of PCDD/DF using ECD-, MSD-, FID- and AED-
detector.
5.1988 - 12.1991, PhD thesis at the University
of Ulm on the synthesis, chemistry, structure
and analytical application of metal chelates. Use of
the chelat forming agents for trace metal analysis.
In parallel work on analysis and quantitation of
polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans.
Comparison of different extraction, clean up and
detection methods for dioxines.
6.3.1992, Award of the doctorate

the Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) of the
Commission of the European Communities. Technical
assistance in projects on trace organics in matrices
of environmental concern.
2.1993 - 5.1995, Scientific employee at
the University of Ulm. Management of
projects in the field of organic trace analysis
(determination of organic trace compounds in flue
gases of waste incinerators, biodegradation of
dioxins).
since 5.1995, Scientific officer at IRMM.
Management of recertification projects,
certification projects and validation studies in the
field of environmental and food chemistry,
microbiology (including prion diseases like BSE) and
molecular biology. Responsibility for the quality
control laboratory with regard to organic and
metalorganic analytes. Set up of production
facilities under sterile conditions and molecular
biological quality control laboratory.
