Description

Advancing the Frontiers of Detection: Ultrasensitive Terahertz Sensing. This program aims to transform terahertz biosensing, creating next-generation sensors for rapid detection down to the sub-nanogram level. Terahertz radiation lies between microwaves and infrared - it can uniquely ‘fingerprint’ or identify substances. This ground-breaking program will investigate terahertz-matter interaction together with sensor design based on advanced materials, breaking current terahertz detection limits. This will enable rapid substance identification with exquisite precision at trace levels. This will revolutionise applications in security, healthcare, forensics, and space exploration. It will educate a new generation of research leaders in engineering and science, building sovereign capability in terahertz photonics.. Scheme: Australian Laureate Fellowships. Field: 4009 - Electronics, Sensors and Digital Hardware. Lead: Prof Derek Abbott
