This international recognition of excellence in engineering and technology is awarded to individuals with significant and extraordinary contributions to their field, such as technological innovations, high-impact research and the development of solutions that generate great value for society.
The work of Santiago Marco, principal investigator of the Intelligent Signal Processing by Bioengineering Sensor Systems research group at the UB and IBEC, has been key to incorporating machine learning into low-cost chemical sensor array systems and improving their chemical selectivity and temporal stability, as well as reducing the cost of the economics. These systems have applications in the detection of volatile biomarkers, environmental monitoring and aroma analysis in food, among other areas.
