    Title:

    Applications of nanoparticles in sensing

    Abstract:

    The sensitive and quantitative detection of trace amounts of specific molecules or cells is important for biomedical applications. Nanoparticles can be readily introduced into solutions and tissues, and can be located and observed with light. We have developed and characterised luminescent nanoparticles, and used them for labelling and microscopy. We have also investigated the collective phenomena that arise in random lasers consisting of nanoparticles with various gain materials. The laser action amplifies the optical response, leading to improved detection of trace molecules in solution.

    Biography:

    Judith Dawes is Professor of Physics and Director of MQ Photonics at Macquarie University. Judith graduated from the University of Sydney and also studied at the University of Rochester (NY). She was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto before joining Macquarie University. She serves as Director at Large (2022-present) for Optica, and Editor in Chief of Optics Continuum. She previously served as Treasurer for Science and Technology Australia, and as President of the Australian & New Zealand Optical Society.

    Title:

    Smart Sensing needs for wildlife conservation

    Abstract:

    Smart Sensing has transformed several industries – from wearable technologies to smart buildings, and even space-based remote sensing. However, what role does smart sensing have in preserving our biodiversity? This becomes more important as climate change puts for pressure on our environment. In this talk, I will cover projects that the NSW Smart Sensing Network has engaged in such as wildlife acoustic monitoring for endangered species, to upcoming challenges around localised tracking of animals. Traditionally, the area of conservation has been difficult to find funding, but great innovations have emerged from this field. I would like to call upon sensing experts to become involved and help tackle these emerging challenges.

    Biography:

    Dr Tomonori Hu leads the Environment and Agriculture theme at the NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN). He undertook a PhD in Physics at the University of Sydney on thetopic of ultrafast mid-infrared fiber lasers. Since graduating, Tom spun-off a company in mid-infrared spectrometers – completing various accelerator programs and running the company at various locations (CSIRO Lindfield and ANSTO). His interests now lie in enabling collaboration of academic research with industry and government.

    More broadly he is interested in the application of advanced sensors for applications related to assessing the environment and tracking targets.

    Title:

    Wi-Fi Sensing: Principle, Implementation and Applications

    Abstract:

    Device free Wi-Fi sensing has gained much attention due to its simplicity, low cost, and no requirement for additional hardware sensors. The main advantages of Wi-Fi sensing are that it is unobtrusive, can operate through walls, work without lighting, is ubiquitous, and does not require users to carry any additional wearable devices. CISCO estimated that there will be 543 million Wi-Fi hot spots in the whole world by end of 2022 and it is growing exponentially, which makes the Wi-Fi signal availability almost omnipresent. The traditional methods of video and sensor based system suffer from many short comings like acceptability, availability, affordability and moreover privacy concerns. The received Wi-Fi signal characteristics changes with change in the dielectric constant of the medium and other reflections and scattering. These change in the Wi-Fi signal patterns can be exploited to detect various events, environmental conditions in the wireless zone, identify the materials in the wall and also detect faults. Recently Wi-Fi sensing techniques are also being used for measuring the physiological parameters like heartbeat, breathing rate monitoring among a few other things.

    This tutorial talk is an attempt to demonstrate the potential of device free general purpose Wi- Fi sensing system to track events and recognize activities even through the wall and other materials using the Channel State Information (CSI) values extracted from the received Wi-Fi signals at the receiver end using channel estimation. The received signal characteristics changes with the presence of the human beings, and their activities affect the signal propagation, resulting from reflection and scattering. The activities can be recognized by analyzing the CSI values corresponding to different sub-carriers of the received signal. CSI values contain fine grain information such as amplitude and phase to achieve better sensing accuracy with a unique pattern that can be observed corresponding to each activity and material.

    We will present our experience of developing the transmitter and receiver hardware modules together with the necessary software for capturing the CSI from Wi-Fi signals and multiple experiments conducted using the low power, low cost ESP-32 Wi-Fi module and Intel 5300 NIC module, for human presence, activity detection, material detection, ambient condition in indoor environments.

    Special Session

    Bio-med Applications and Medical Devices
    Bio-med research assists in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. Along with the improved treatment of existing health conditions, bio-med applications are used to add prognostic and prophylactic measures and discover new therapies using innovative medical devices. Precise surface functionalization is a foundation for the ground-breaking biomedical discovery using a diverse range of chemically synthesized nanomaterials and bio-nanomaterials, including the use of aptamers, antibodies, tumoral biomarkers, carbohydrates, ssDNA, siRNA, peptides on the biosensors, culminating in advanced biomedical devices. The biosensing technology also includes nanomaterials-based (0D, 1D, 2D, 3D nanomaterials, synthetic polymers, dendrimers, liposomes, micelle, PEGs, fluorescent dyes, drugs), paper-based (lateral flow assay, hybrid electrochemical/ lateral flow assay, optical readout), printing technology-based (inkjet printing, screen printing, graphene transfer electrodes, field-effect transistor-based biosensors, electrochemical readouts), and fully integrated Point-of-Care devices (smartphone-based, wearables, wireless readouts) for the bio-med diagnosis which are essential for wellness measurement in healthcare applications.

    Currently, non-invasive or minimally invasive Point-of-Care biomedical devices are trending for advancement in biomedical sensing. The molecular next-generation digital biomarkers derived from body fluids can be collected noninvasively or minimally invasively and analyzed independently in specialized laboratories or at home. The significant advantage of these innovative biomedical devices is their ability to generate continuous or non-continuous molecular information about health and disease as per the needs of the patients. The words "continuous" and "early detection" have lately gained popularity as digital health tools have become more widely available. The Internet of Things (IoT) provides an additional supportive platform to add home-based, remote diagnosis, long-distance, easily accessible, rapid yet simplified healthcare features to biosensing medical devices. IoT enhances connectivity between a medical practitioner and their patient.

    With a special session, international researchers have been invited to present their latest findings, developments, and applications in bio-med sensing Point-of-Care technology covering a wide range of healthcare applications. A special session on Bio-med Applications and Medical Devices will cover a presentation and poster sessions. All conference papers will be peer-reviewed based on a full-length manuscript, and the acceptance will be based on quality, originality, and relevance.
