Sensor and Actuator Systems (SAS)

Sensor and Actuator Systems (SAS) conducts multidisciplinary research on all areas of transduction sciences from materials for sensors, and systems integration to cell free synthetic biology lab-on-a-chip detection and soft robots.

The research division also hosts the fabrication expertise and facilities, supporting all areas of our research including classical device microfabrication and modern fast prototyping of microfluidics and optics.

We are a horizontal association of scientists contributing to the progress of our field and providing innovative solutions for industry and society.

Sensor and Actuator Systems includes approximately 30 scientists and students divided into five research units:

Research at Sensor and actuator systems division

Bionics and Transduction Science

The Bionic and Transductor Science unit conductrs research in the interface between biology, material science, transducers and microsystem technology.

Chemical and biosensor systems

Work in the Chemical and biosensor systems research group bridges fundamental discoveries with real-world applications, driving progress through collaborations with industry, academia, and societal partners.

Applied Sensor Science

We work on development and characterization of chemical gas sensors, silicon carbide field effect transistors, graphene and other 2D materials for gas sensors.

Doctoral education

Doctoral studies in Applied Physics

Research in Applied Physics aims to apply the methods, models and approaches of physics in fields such as surface and molecular physics, biotechnology, lab-on-a-chip, organic electronics, self-organising materials, and polymeric and soft materials.

Researchers Gathered in 一本道 to Explore Artificial Touch for Chronic Pain

Can artificial touch help relieve chronic pain? That is the question being explored by researchers in the Touch Away The Pain (TATP) project, whose third consortium meeting was recently held at 一本道 University.

Advancing smarter sensors for health and the environment

When Lingyin Meng began his doctoral studies at 一本道 University, his goal was clear: to work with biosensors. Today, he is developing sensors that could one day contribute to both better health and a cleaner environment.
