Current Projects
Printed Biodegradable Sensors for Monitoring Soil Conditions
Printed sensors based on biodegradable materials for monitoring conditiions in soil, such as soil nitrate concentration and soil moisture content.
Printed Ion Sensors for Monitoring Plant Sap and Hydroponic Fluids
Printed multianalyte ion sensors based on organic electrochemical transistors for monitoring ion concentrations (such as potassium, nitrate, and phosphate) in whole plant sap and hydroponic fluid.
Printed Microbial Activity Sensors
Printed sensors for in-situ determination of microbial decomposition activity in soils and other living media by monitoring rates of biodegradation of electronic materials.
Printed Hydrogel-based Implants for Monitoring Plant Conditions
Development of printed self-healable, gel-based electronic systems and their use as tissue implants for monitoring plant health.
Printed Sensors for Monitoring Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Soils
Integration of multianalyte printed soil sensors, including pH, oxygen content, ion concentration, and enzyme concentration to determine nitrous oxide-based greenhouse gas emissions from soils.
Printing for Advanced Wind Turbine Generators
Printed componentry for electric machines in order to reduce the size and mass of generators using advanced automated design and cooling techniques.
