Welcome to the Advanced Sensor Technology Laboratory (ASTL)

The missions of the Advanced Sensor Technology Laboratory (ASTL) are focused on: 1) developing state-of-the-art sensor technologies for Structural Health Monitoring and bio-medical applications; and 2) providing a multi-disciplinary learning environment for the students to participate in world class research activities.

Current research projects at ASTL cover a broad range of topics, including:

· Wireless antenna sensor skin for Structural Health Monitoring

· Remote generation and steering of ultrasound using microwave

· Unpowered wireless Acoustic Emission sensors

· Remote powered wireless strain gauge

· Smart shoes with embedded shear/compression sensors for diabetic foot diagnosis
