Volatile Organic Compound

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that readily evaporate at room temperature, impacting various fields from medicine to environmental monitoring. Current research focuses on developing advanced sensor arrays and machine learning algorithms, such as neural networks (e.g., LSTM) and ensemble methods (e.g., Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbors), to improve VOC detection, classification, and quantification in complex mixtures. These advancements are crucial for applications like non-invasive disease diagnosis through breath analysis, optimizing building energy efficiency through occupancy detection, and transforming hazardous VOCs into valuable fuels via catalytic reforming. The development of robust and accurate models is driving progress across diverse scientific and engineering disciplines.
