About
Noor Hidayat Abu Bakar is an emerging researcher working at the intersection of analytical chemistry, robotics, and volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis. His work focuses on developing innovative, automated sampling methodologies that challenge conventional approaches to chemical analysis — particularly the labor-intensive processes of sample homogenization, extraction, and purification that have long defined the field. His most notable contribution is the development of a robotized pen-shaped probe capable of open-space, noncontact mapping of VOCs directly from solid specimens, published in 2021 and accumulating 8 citations. This work represents a significant methodological leap, enabling spatial resolution of VOC distribution within a matrix — something traditional techniques cannot achieve. Building on this foundation, his 2024 follow-up integrated computer vision into the robotized sampling platform, further advancing the automation and intelligence of VOC detection systems. By combining robotics, computer vision, and analytical chemistry, Abu Bakar is pioneering a new paradigm in chemical sampling that prioritizes spatial fidelity, efficiency, and reduced human intervention. Though still early in his research career, his work demonstrates strong potential for real-world applications in food science, environmental monitoring, and forensic analysis.
