Small, low-cost, robust, reliable, and sensitive sensors are needed to enable the realization of practical and economical sensor networks. The strategy of the sensor group is to work on application-driven and commercially unavailable sensors. In addition to better performance, the technological emphases are miniaturization and automation (ease of use) of the developed sensors. The sensors research group focuses on amperometric, potentiometric, and spectrochemical approaches to detecting contaminants such as nitrate and domoic acid, as well as the microfluidic systems necessary to prepare samples.
