Description

Shark-inspired remote sensors. The project aims to develop new-generation sensors, inspired by specialised receptors in shark skin, that will remotely detect objects based on their unique electrical, optical, and thermal fingerprints, by integrating advanced materials into smart architectures. This is expected to generate new knowledge in bioinspired engineering, using a multidisciplinary approach to develop materials with precisely tailored nanoscale properties for unprecedented remote sensing. The outcomes are likely to lead to advanced remote sensors that overcome the limitations of current systems, with significant benefits for addressing global challenges such as space exploration, personalised healthcare, climate change monitoring, and national security.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4016 - Materials Engineering. Lead: Dr Cheryl Suwen Law
