Research Topics
Sensor Need: Identification of the need for a sensor
Whether in the medical diagnostic or chemical warfare categories, there are constantly new requirements for novel sensor ideas.
Faculty involved in this area of research include:
Dr. Irwin Chaiken
Dr. Banu Onaral
Recognition Events: Creation of the sensor element
Whether identifying enzymes or antibodies specific for the analyte, or changes in material properties indicating changes in environment, the recognition events determine the selectivity and specificity of the developing sensor.
Faculty involved in this area include:
Dr. Caroline Schauer
Dr. Elisabeth Papazoglou
Dr. Wan Shih
Dr. Jonathan Spanier
Networking: Transformation of sensor information into data
Whether topology or power consumption, network related issues determine the success of the sensor signals’ generation and communication.
Faculty involved in this area include:
Dr. Athina Petropulu
Dr. Jaudelice de Oliveira
Dr. Karen Miu
Sensor application: Real world application of sensors
Whether signal processing or sensor location and quantity design, good quality information, rather than signals, is required for decision making.
Faculty involved in this area include:
Dr. Jin Wen
Dr. Paul Oh
