Joseph W. Lowdon obtained a master's degree in Chemistry from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2017 and later completed a PhD in Chemistry from Maastricht University in the Netherlands in 2021. Currently, he works as a postdoctoral researcher in the Sensor Engineering Department at Maastricht University, where he specializes in developing sensory platforms for the rapid analysis of vitamins in fruits and vegetables, using his expertise in MIP-based sensors. Over the past five years, he has published more than 15 research papers on MIPs, covering areas such as their design, synthesis, development, and application, as well as machine learning. Additionally, he has also studied the development of a charge transfer complex that enables the rapid detection of phosphate. In 2022, he applied for his first patent on a specific sensing technology, demonstrating his drive to advance lab research to commercially available technologies. Apart from his niche research interests, he also has a keen interest in the synthesis of novel molecules, polymers, conjugated polymers, hydrogels, electrochemistry, and electrochemical impedance.
