Description

From lab to field: smart sensing technologies for future farming. This project aims to solve the long-standing industry challenge of establishing a non-invasive early-stage pregnancy detection system on farm. Using novel sensing technologies, the university–industry partners will significantly improve livestock and dairy productivity and animal welfare, and reduce costs and rates of operator injury. The outcomes will include enhancing the selectivity of gas-sensing technologies, and gaining advanced knowledge on mass-producing gas sensors; the results are likely to be commercialised after project completion. The economic, commercial, and social benefits will benefit not only the industry partner but a wide range of industries from food and agricultural industries to environmental monitoring sectors.. Scheme: Early Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 3401 - Analytical Chemistry. Lead: Prof Noushin Nasiri
