About
Shigeru Kurosawa is a pioneering figure in the development of chemical sensors and biomimetic olfactory systems. His foundational work on gas sorption to plasma-polymerized copper phthalocyanine films on piezoelectric crystals (103 citations) established key principles for highly sensitive, selective vapor detection. This research laid the groundwork for his major contributions to neuromorphic olfaction—designing artificial systems that mimic biological olfactory processing. As a leading participant in the ambitious European NEUROCHEM project (FP7 Grant 216916), Kurosawa helped advance computational models of the olfactory bulb and cortex, translating neural coding principles into practical sensor arrays. His interdisciplinary approach bridges materials science, polymer chemistry, and neuroscience, enabling the creation of electronic noses capable of distinguishing complex odor mixtures. With over a hundred publications and sustained citation impact, Kurosawa’s work has been instrumental in moving chemical sensing from simple detection to intelligent, brain-inspired pattern recognition. His achievements continue to inspire researchers developing next-generation biosensors and environmental monitors.
