About this event
📅 Tuesday, 22 July 2026 | 9:00 AM CEST (Paris) — 45 minutes, live
Do you know the exact endpoint of your batch — or are you running to a fixed time and hoping for the best?
Most manufacturers in chemicals, pharma and cosmetics still control critical operations — emulsification, functionalisation, distillation, oxidation — with offline samples and delayed lab results. Decisions get made on stale data. Endpoints are guessed, not measured.
In this 45-minute live session, Dr. Lennon Lee, CEO of Paeonia Innovations (deep-tech spin-off from A*STAR, Singapore), will show how a palm-sized, solid-state Mid-IR spectrometer turns process monitoring from a time-driven exercise into a chemistry-driven one — one full spectrum every 0.3 seconds, directly in your process line.
What you'll take away:
- A practical decision framework: when Mid-IR beats NIR, Raman or UV-Vis — and when it doesn't
- Three real case studies: real-time emulsification endpoint control, polymer functionalisation tracking in 10,000 cP viscous media without dilution, and low-level H₂O₂ quantification in acidified ethanol
- How inline sampling design, cleaning-in-place and chemometric models translate spectra into actionable endpoints — shorter cycles, higher yield, less rework
- A pilot-first roadmap: test the technology on your own process samples before committing
Format: ~30 minutes of insights + 15 minutes of open Q&A — bring your toughest matrix.
Your hosts:
- Dr. Lennon Lee — CEO, Paeonia Innovations (Singapore)
- Thomas Ricour — Founder, PAT-INDUSTRY (France), 25+ years in non-destructive process analysis and PAT integration, moderating the session
If your process is viscous, optically dense, aqueous or low-concentration — this session was built for you.

External speaker
Lennon Lee CEO @ PAEONIA INNOVATIONSE
Lennon Lee was selected as an A*STAR National Science Scholar — one of Singapore's most competitive research scholarships — and read Electrical Engineering at Columbia University, graduating top of his class in three years on the Chairman's Honors List, with the Edwin Howard Armstrong Memorial Award, named for the inventor of FM radio. He completed his PhD in Electrical Engineering at Stanford, then returned to Singapore to lead the Photonics and Sensors department at A*STAR's Institute of Microelectronics, where he built the deep optical sensing expertise that now sits at the core of Paeonia. Today he is CEO of Paeonia Innovations, a CPACT partner and member of the Pharma Innovation Programme Singapore, and the creator of the OrionIR™ — a palm-sized mid-IR spectrometer capable of three spectra per second, built specifically for the optically complex processes that have historically resisted inline PAT.
