SENSORS: Shaping the Future of Intelligent and Sustainable Systems

Sensors lie at the heart of every intelligent system — enabling machines to perceive, interpret, and respond to their environment. The rapid evolution of micro/nanoelectronics, materials science, and artificial intelligence is redefining how we sense the world around us. The Sensors research group is driving this transformation through innovation across multiple domains, bridging materials, devices, and intelligent systems.

Our research spans the entire sensing spectrum — from CMOS/MEMS-based devices that offer scalable and integrable platforms, to novel material systems engineered at the nanoscale. We are pioneering ultra-low-powered and self-powered sensor architectures, crucial for next-generation wearable, environmental, health and IoT applications.

Drawing inspiration from nature, we are exploring bio-inspired and neuromorphic sensing paradigms that mimic the remarkable efficiency of biological systems. Complementing this hardware innovation is our work on AI-enabled smart sensing systems, where machine learning enhances perception, adaptability, and decision-making capabilities.

Together, these efforts aim to build a new generation of intelligent, energy-efficient, and sustainable sensors — empowering technologies for health, environment, mobility, and beyond.
