Biophysical Sensors

Biochemical Sensors

Sensing technologies involving the transmission of electric signals are currently limited in commercial utility by the durability and stability of existing technologies. In this Theme, Biophysical Sensors, we will focus on flexible and mechanical stretchable sensors that can be worn directly on the body or integrated into clothing.

Leading researchers from universities will collaborate with partner organisations to develop, design, and manufacture physical sensors for health management and support in hazardous environments.
