Odor sensing plays a critical role in environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and health-related diagnostics. However, the accurate detection and identification of complex odor mixtures remain challenging due to the diversity of volatile compounds and the lack of high-performance sensors. Our research focuses on the development of high-performance odor sensors through an integrated framework encompassing advanced gas-sensing materials, on-chip sensor arrays, odor analysis algorithms, and sensing devices for real-world applications. Through these efforts, we aim to enable sensitive detection and reliable identification of complex odors. This talk will present our recent progress in high-performance odor sensors and highlight their applications across multiple fields.
Dr. Longchao Yao is a researcher at the College of Energy Engineering, Zhejiang University, China. He received his Ph.D. from Zhejiang University in 2019 and conducted postdoctoral research there from 2019 to 2023. His research focuses on artificial olfaction and intelligent sensing technologies for energy and environmental systems, particularly the development of high-performance gas sensors and gas detection instruments. He has led several national research projects, including two funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. He has published over 40 peer-reviewed journal papers and holds more than 10 granted invention patents. He also serves as a committee member of the Odor Pollution Control Committee of the Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences.
