Professor J. Calvin Giddings was a graduate of Brigham Young University, earned his Ph.D. under Henry Eyring at the University of Utah in 1954, and did postdoctoral work at the University of Wisconsin. He joined the faculty of the University of Utah in 1957. Among analytical chemists, Professor Giddings was best known as a pioneer in chromatography and separations, particularly in theory and teaching. Giddings established the journal Separation Science and Technology and was editor for over 30 years. He authored over 400 scientific publications, including the theoretical landmark books Dynamics of Chromatography, and Unified Separation Science, widely used in graduate-level separation courses. He also invented Field Flow Fractionation and led the way in its development and application.
