Detroit's Wayne State University Helps Develop Design Technique for Microsensors with Extremely Small Footprints

DBusiness, 5.21.18

The Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) at the Graduate Center of The City University of New York and Michigan Technological University partnered with WSU. The team was led by Pai-Yen Chen, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at WSU, and Andrea Alu, director of the ASRC's Photonics Initiative and professor of physics at The Graduate Center of The City University of New York. In the push to miniaturize the sensors to improve their resolution and enable large-scale networks of sensing devices, improving the sensitivity of microsensors is crucial," says Alu. "Our approach addresses this need by introducing a generalized symmetry condition that enables high-quality readings in a miniaturized footprint."
