Brescia, sensors and micro-systems world capital
7 September 2014 - 10 September 2014
Italy
Monday, September 8th to Wednesday, September 10th 2014, almost 500 scientists, academics and industrialists from over 42 countries will gather in Brescia (Italy) to discuss about one of the leading R&D sectors. Brescia, one of the main sensors and micro-systems centers, have already hosted in 2013, at the Department of Information Engineering of Università degli Studi, the annual AISEM (Italian Association for Sensors and Micro-Systems) conference. For over 20 years, in fact, the Department of Information Engineering has being operating in the fields of sensors and micro/nano-systems.
Starting Monday, September 8th, the 28th Edition of the annual EUROSENSORS conference confirms the leading role of Università degli Studi di Brescia in the field. During the three days, plenary sessions, lectures and special seminars, with the contribution of experts from academia and industry, will show how essential sensors are in everyday life and what processes and systems are at the base of their production.
The conference will open on Sunday, September 7th with the Eurosensors School, a special pre-session of meetings and seminars specifically conceived for doctoral students, Ph.Ds. and young researchers but also open to experienced colleagues who wish to strengthen their interdisciplinary knowledge. The School will be held at the Cloisters of the complex of San Faustino where, starting at 6pm, it’ll be possible to register.
Monday to Wednesday sessions will be held at the Department of Engineering in via Branze.
“We have received 525 papers, each assigned to a panel of five reviewers, so that no paper has received less than 3 reviews. 402 papers where accepted and included in the conference program, which is nearly 77% of the total: an excellent result that confirms the high quality of research and the centrality of the sector in the lives of all of us, in every country of the world”, underlined Dr. Giorgio Sberveglieri, Professor of Experimental Physics and Chair of the Congress and Dr. Vittorio Ferrari, Professor of Electronics.
Dr. Sberveglieri and Dr. Ferrari have furthermore mentioned some of the main applications of micro-sensors for remote monitoring in the fields of healthcare, detection of explosives and biological materials. "The new frontier of sensor devices will facilitate a wide range of potential applications in fields such as food & beverage, healthcare, quality control and environmental analysis”, they said.
During the conference, the Sensors, Microsystems and Electronics Laboratory of the Department of Engineering will also show its no-battery sensor, powered by vibrations, air flows and person movement, used in healthcare and its no-contact reading sensors and silicon micro-sensors.
Dr. Alessandra Flammini, with her research on wireless sensor networks for industrial monitoring, and Dr. Emilio Sardini with his sensors for biomedical applications will take part to the event too. Furthermore, the Laboratory will show the use of nano-sensors as electronic noses to detect volatile elements or to reveal the presence of undesirable or toxic elements or to detect hidden people in confined space, research leaded by the University and funded by the European Commission (Project SNOOPY).
