InSpek: OneProbe, Multiple Sensors
Abstract
InSpek is redefining real-time chemical monitoring by developing silicon photonic sensors for deployment in bioprocessing environments. Our multi-parameter sensing technology leverages photonic integrated circuits (PICs) to enable continuous, in-situ measurement of key process parameters (e.g. glucose, ethanol, pH, dissolved oxygen) directly inside bioreactors, eliminating the need for manual sampling or expensive & bulky free-space optical systems.
Biography
Jérôme is co-founder and CEO of InSpek, a start-up company developing on-chip optical sensing solutions. He started InSpek after his PhD and post-doc in integrated photonics. His PhD research focused on flexible integrated photonics and photonic sensors. During this time, he developed one of the first waveguide-enhanced Raman spectroscopy systems, which later led to the creation of InSpek. He also worked at the Centre de Nanosciences et de Nanotechnologies (C2N–CNRS), focusing on chip-scale spectroscopic techniques. He has participated in translational research programs such as the MIT Deshpande Center and the NSF I-Corps initiative. His activities have focused on bringing integrated photonic sensing technologies from the lab to real-world applications. Jérôme holds an engineering degree in Physics from Ecole Polytechnique (France) and a PhD from MIT.
