Overview

Materials from nanoscale to macroscale have a significant role to play in important and ever growing technologically vital areas such as sensors and detectors for environmental and healthcare applications. Sensors and detectors are required to monitor and control processes and actions in wide range of applications. The symposium will bring together researchers from disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, analytical science, environmental science, materials science, electronics, automation, instrumentation and engineering to highlight the latest developments and future challenges in this exciting field of research.

Topics

  • Theory and sensing mechanism
  • Sensor networks, arrays and algorithms
  • Novel materials for gas sensors, biosensors, radiation detectors, optical devices
  • Synthesis and characterization of sensor and detector materials
  • Novel fabrication technologies for thick and thin film devices
  • Novel nano-structured materials for sensors and detectors
  • Novel semiconductor materials for sensors and detectors
  • Novel sensing and detection techniques
  • Temperature and time dependent characteristics of sensing and detection materials
  • Sensor and detector packaging materials and technologies
