Paul Geladi was born in Belgium in 1951, received his B.Sc. in Chemistry in 1974, and his Ph.D. in Analytical chemistry from the University of Antwerp, Belgium, in 1979. He had a unique profile in combining expertise in analytical chemistry with programming of microcomputers, an uncommon combination at that time. By the end of 1980’s he was convinced by late professor Svante Wold to move to Umeå, Sweden and join the Chemometrics research group, hosted at the Chemistry Department, Umeå University. As an Associate professor, Paul’s research in Chemometrics focused on Spectroscopy and Spectroscopic Imaging and multivariate calibration problems, especially using Near Infrared Spectroscopic data (NIR) which today has an enormous impact in research and industry in the analysis of complex samples, especially in agriculture.
In May 2007, he became professor of Chemometrics at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Umeå, Sweden, a position he held until 2016 when he became Emeritius and continued supporting chemometrics research and education.
Over his career, Paul built an extensive international network of collaborators at universities and research institutes in Scandinavia (Vaasa Univ. in Finland, MatForsk Ås, Norway), USA (Univ. Washington & Potsdam univ.) and South Africa (Stellenbosch univ.). His research resulted in an impressive 188 scientific publications, cited more than 25 000 times, and coauthored three scientific books on multivariate image analysis and multiway analysis.
