About
Richard S. Hosler is a leading innovator at the intersection of analytical chemistry and high-throughput experimentation. His primary research focuses on accelerating chemical discovery through the development of automated platforms that leverage microdroplet reaction acceleration and ambient ionization mass spectrometry. Hosler’s most influential work, a 2020 study with 52 citations, introduced a fully integrated hardware and software system for high-throughput screening of organic reactions using desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS). By combining a fluid handling robot with microdroplet reactions on a PTFE plate, his platform dramatically reduces reagent consumption and reaction times, enabling the rapid optimization of synthetic conditions. This contribution has been pivotal for the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries, where speed and efficiency in reaction screening are paramount. Hosler’s work demonstrates a profound ability to bridge engineering and chemistry, providing researchers with powerful tools to explore chemical space at an unprecedented pace. His achievements mark him as a key figure in the ongoing revolution toward automated, miniaturized chemical synthesis and analysis.
