Description

Advances in electronic-nose algorithms coupled with a method for improving the performance of metal-oxide sensors opens the way to the development of robust, low-cost, sensor products that can be applied to meet the growing demand for the detection of Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) and Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs) in workplace and operational environments. This Phase II project will leverage prior work in the development of lightweight, biologically-inspired, pattern-recognition algorithms and an innovative method of constructing metal-oxide sensors to improve sensitivity and enable detection of target analytes against a drifting, multi-analyte background.
