Philippe Buhlmann is the Distinguished University Teaching Professor and CSE Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Minnesota. His research spans Analytical Chemistry, Bioanalytical Chemistry, and Environmental Chemistry, focusing on electrochemical sensors for clinical and environmental applications.
- Education:
- B.S. and Ph.D., ETH Zurich (1993) (Advisor: Wilhelm Simon)
- Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Tokyo (1993-1994) (Advisor: Yoshio Umezawa)
Research interests include developing chemical sensors using molecular recognition, with emphasis on ion-selective electrodes, nanoscience, and scanning tunneling microscopy for molecular resolution imaging. Recent work involves graphene-based sensors, solid-state electrodes, and textile-integrated potentiometric systems.
Key trends in his 15 most recent articles (2024-2025) highlight advancements in covalent and non-covalent surface modifications, calibration-free sensors, and flexible/wearable electrochemical devices. His group explores carbon nanotubes, silicone membranes, and redox buffers to improve detection limits and biocompatibility.
Scientific honors include the 2023 ACS Minnesota Award and the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science Fellowship. As a mentor, he has supervised over 30 graduate students and postdocs, many of whom now hold prominent positions in academia and industry.
Professional affiliations include the American Chemical Society, Society for Electroanalytical Chemistry, and Chemical Society of Japan. Current projects involve implantable sensors and machine learning-enhanced electronic noses.
