Digital Olfaction main idea is to create devices which not only can capture odors, but also turn them into digital data as well as transmit them everywhere in the world and restitute the original odor. The first phase of Digital Olfaction could be performed by the so called Electronic noses, that could be defined as “an instrument which comprises an array of electronic chemical sensors with partial specificity and appropriate pattern recognition system, capable of recognizing simple or complex odors” [1]. These devices could be applied in various sectors, such as agriculture and livestock, industrial processes, perfume industry, environmental toxin/pollutant analysis, space stations, medical/healthcare, pharmaceuticals, forensic science, military, toxicology/security and the food and beverage industry.
This seminar tries to describe the main technologies involved in Electronic nose systems and showing the last prototypes [2-4] and applications [5-8] carried out in the Perception and Smart Systems group of University of Extremadura.

Prof. Dr. Jesús Lozano received the B. Sc. degree in Electronic Engineer in 2001 and Ph. D. degree in 2005 from Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain. He has worked in instrumentation systems at Electronics Department of the University Complutense of Madrid, in chemical sensors and electronic noses at the Laboratorio de Sensores, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Madrid, in control, modelling and simulation at Naval Engineering School of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Presently he works as full professor at the Industrial Engineering School of Universidad de Extremadura, Badajoz. His main research interest is related with electronic noses, developing prototypes, managing projects and publications in different applications (food, health, industry, security, air quality, …) for more than 25 years. From 2019 He is President of the Digital Olfaction Society.
