Project Research Associate Daigo Terutsuki won an incentive award of the 37th Sensor Symposium

On October 28, 2020, Project Research Associate Daigo Terutsuki (Intelligent Cooperative Systems) won an incentive award of the 37th Sensor Symposium (Future Technologies from Kumamoto Online). This award is presented to a young researcher (35 years old or younger) who delivers an excellent oral presentation in the symposium. Dr. Terutsuki’s presentation that earned him the award was titled "Development of a high-speed volatile organic compound mixture dissolving method and a prototype odorant vacuum and dissolution system".

About the research:
This study proposes a method based on mist atomization that enables high-speed dissolution of sparsely water-soluble odorant molecules, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), in water. The approach allowed dissolving a sparsely soluble VOC mixture with various functional groups in water. Moreover, a prototype of a portable odorant vacuum and dissolution system has also been developed successfully in the study.

Comment:
It is an honor to receive a wonderful award. I would like to continue to develop innovative odorant biosensor technologies.
