Scholar-generated biography
Renato Zenobi is a Professor of Analytical Chemistry at ETH Zurich, specializing in advanced analytical techniques for nanoscale chemical analysis. His research focuses on developing and applying methods such as tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, scanning near-field optical microscopy, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. His work explores the identification of polymers in atmospheric aerosols, single-cell metabolomics, and the mechanisms of ion formation in MALDI. Zenobi's contributions include critical reviews on nanoscale chemical imaging and the role of in-plume processes in MALDI ionization. His research bridges analytical chemistry with environmental and biological sciences, emphasizing the importance of ambient ionization techniques for real-time analysis.
