Developing novel methods of biomedical diagnostics using hyperspectral microscopy to characterise natural colour and morphology of cells and tissues in the body, to determine whether they carry the early hallmarks of disease. This can yield early screening systems for detecting ill but pre-symptomatic individuals.
Electric-field-induced phase-change ceramics offer large strain actuation in sonar applications, allowing for the design of more efficient, accurate and compact sonar systems.
The security of coastlines can be greatly enhanced using sonar arrays including those towed by autonomous marine drones. This technology produces low-cost, robust, lightweight and power-efficient towed-array sonars based on optical sensing technologies developed in collaboration with industry partners.
Optical solutions for industrial and biomedical sensing applications. These include monitoring under hazardous conditions such as those found in petrochemical plants, mines and food processing environments, and monitoring and imaging of neuronal activities in biological tissues such as those found in the brain, retina and muscle.
Mirror furnace systems are used to produce very uniform high-quality single crystals of ferroelectric materials for use in sensors including those used in submarine sonar systems.
Robots need a sense of touch if they are to match human capabilities. This patented technology replicates the human sense of touch without being limited by size, strength, environment or fatigue.
Advanced sensing systems provide an integrated solution for environmental and safety monitoring across a range of industries, including mining, defence, agriculture, forestry, food processing and health.
