About
Michele Sanmartin is a leading researcher in the development of advanced portable sensing systems for trace chemical detection, with a primary focus on environmental monitoring and security applications. His work bridges microfabrication and optical spectroscopy, most notably through the integration of MEMS-based fast gas-chromatography with quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy. His landmark 2019 paper introduced a deployable trace chemical sensor that combines a two-stage purge-and-trap pre-concentrator with a miniaturized MEMS gas-chromatography column and a compact quartz-enhanced photoacoustic detector, enabling selective, real-time detection of hazardous vapors at trace levels. This work, which has garnered 14 citations, represents a significant step toward field-portable instruments that rival laboratory-grade performance. Sanmartin’s contributions are particularly impactful in the context of homeland security and industrial safety, where rapid, on-site identification of chemical threats is critical. His research continues to push the boundaries of miniaturized analytical systems, making him a notable figure in the intersection of MEMS technology and optical sensing.
