Background

About Emmanuel Scorsone

Dr. Emmanuel Scorsone studied chemistry at the Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland and graduated with a PhD in Instrumentation and Analytical Science from UMIST, Manchester, UK (2002). He gained expertise in gas sensors and artificial olfaction while working as an academic researcher at the University of Manchester (2002-2004) and then as R&D Scientist at Alphasense Ltd (2004-2006), UK. He integrated the French Commission for Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies (CEA) in 2006 where he leads applied research activities related to synthetic diamond based chemical sensors, analytical micro/nano-systems and implantable devices at the CEA-LIST Institute. He is involved in many EU and national - funded projects related to smart diamond based systems for various applications ranging from health to security. He also leads numerous research activities with industrial contractors. He has supervised a number of PhD students and postdoctoral fellows (7 PhD theses defended from 2007 to present). In 2015 he received the Wolfgang Göpel memorial award for his work on a bio-electronic nose combining olfactory proteins and synthetic diamond transducers, and he was awarded the Fellowship of Eurosensors 2018. He is a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and of the International Society for Olfaction and Artificial Sensing. He is inventor/co-inventor of 15 patents in the area of chemical sensors, implantable medical devices, and energy storage and co-author of more than 40 peer-reviewed articles. He was appointed Local Scientific Chair of the Eurosensors 2017 edition in Paris, and Treasurer in 2018 and Program Chair in 2019 of the Diamond Symposium at the MRS Fall meeting in Boston, USA.
