Electrical and Computer Engineering
Environmental Science and Geoscience Instrumentation and Sensors
Our research involves developing advanced environmental and chemical sensors and integrated sensor systems. We use state-of-the-art semiconductor optoelectronics to build the next generation of monitoring devices.
- We are developing solutions that can reduce the cost of advanced sensor systems from tens of thousands of dollars to a few thousand while making them portable, reliable, and sensitive.
- We collaborate with environmental epidemiologists who utilize our sensors for correlating air quality to human health.
- We are developing sensor systems for integration with UAVs and UGVs to enable precision agriculture and ubiquitous air quality monitoring in rural areas where there is extremely limited environmental data available.
