Research in chemical sensors is performed for sensors
using electrochemical, semiconductor, infra-red,mechanical and thermal sensor systems. Analytical
chemistry of sensors and sensor systems are explored such as arrays of
sensors combined with artificial intelligence to form "electronic
noses." Mechanisms and models of chemical sensors are developed for
transient as well as steady state sensor signals. Applications of chemical
sensors to environmental, medical, industrial, human health and safety,
military, space, and other real-world applications are developed. Fields of
study include analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, catalysis, physical
chemistry, instrumentation, and environmental science. The field of
chemical sensors and biosensors is diverse not only in applications but
also in scientific discipline.Applications of
sensors also require development of expertise in sensor fabrication processes
especially those for low cost. As a consequence, research often involves
collaborations with researchers and engineers in other disciplines
including electrical and mechanical engineering, physics, materials
science, or biochemistry.
