Samuel Ippolito

Associate Professor Samuel Ippolito is affiliated with the School of Engineering at RMIT University, Melbourne. His research focuses on nanotechnology, chemical sensing, and materials engineering, particularly in acoustic-based sensors, nano-structured thin films, and mercury sensing technologies. He leads the Mercury Management and Industrial Chemical Sensors (MMICS) group within the Centre for Advanced Materials and Industrial Chemistry (CAMIC). Ippolito has coordinated courses in real-time systems engineering, software engineering design, and engineering computing. His recent work includes developing advanced functional nanomaterials for industrial gas sensing and exploring light-assisted sensing mechanisms.

Research interests span nanomaterials synthesis, electrochemical biosensors, and spectroscopic techniques applied to environmental and medical diagnostics. Supervised projects highlight innovations in neuromorphic learning, spiking neural networks, and sensor fabrication. His contributions include high-impact studies on gas sensors, biosensor protocols, and AI-driven medical diagnostics. Ippolito collaborates across disciplines, integrating materials science with engineering and computational methods to address challenges in environmental monitoring and healthcare.
