Developement of distributed optical sensor system
Current work
Development of fiber optical sensors for physical and bio-chemical sensing. Designing and developing a distributed optical sensor system for Sensor Nodes used within WSN for real-time monitoring physical (temperature, strain, vibration) and biological (foodborne pathogens) parameters. The output of the distributed sensor array will be transmitted via the sensor node.
