Sensors
Sensors Group at FlexE Centre is developing state-of-the art flexible sensors. The main objective of this group is to design and fabricate flexible sensors with new capabilities or improved performance and readout electronic circuits for novel usage scenarios. Main application areas include healthcare, food quality, environmental monitoring, industrial safety and security. Some of our current activities include flexible thermal sensors, flexible gas sensors, electrochemical sensors for detection of heavy metals in water and microfluidic immunosensors for detection of disease biomarkers in body fluids. Furthermore, the Sensors Group also undertakes research and development activities in the areas of transport phenomena, reaction engineering, materials processing and micro/nano fabrication leading to the technology development of chemical sensors.
