The main activities carried out at the Sensing Technology Lab are related to printed, flexible, environmentally-friendly, disposable, and biodegradable electronic devices used in a wide range of applications, from internet of things, food science, biotechnology, smart environment and agriculture, to wearable and medical systems. Our laboratory is working on sensors, biosensors, energy harvesters, as well as actuators based on a wide range of nanomaterials. The final aim of the laboratory is the development of fully autonomous systems incorporating sensing, energy harvesting, storage, read-out, and wireless communication functionality, based on printed and flexible technologies and a wide range of nanomaterials. This is performed through basic research on novel materials, devices, and integration technologies, as well as through the field application of these devices and systems.
The laboratory equipment of the Sensing Technology Lab is dedicated to the synthesis and deposition of novel active and passive materials, to the device fabrication and characterization, as well as to the integration of these devices into more complex systems.
Our current laboratories in piazza Università 1 (E1.21, E1.23, E2.11) include the following equipment for the fabrication and characterization of printed devices and systems:
Our new laboratories at NOI Techpark (A2.3.05c, A2.3.05d, A2.3.05e) funded by the European Regional Development Fund Investment for Growth and Jobs Programme 2014-2020 include the following equipment for the material synthesis, deposition and analysis, as well as for the device fabrication and characterization:
