Taking nanotechnology from the lab into our daily lives
Nano-Tera has achieved outstanding results in the areas of biosensing, design of medical implants and diagnosis tools, and monitoring systems for the environment.Success stories include:
Analysis lab under the skin: Small implant capable of detecting several metabolites and instantaneously transmitting this data to a doctor
Wearable ECG with wireless data transmission
Networked rock-displacement detectors to protect against rockslides
Smart sensor-equipped textiles, able to monitor tissue oxygenation
Optical sensing platform to detect doping agents in saliva
13
Nano-Tera.ch – Engineering the Future
In its new phase, Nano-Tera will continue to explore key research areasChallenges currently being tackled include:
Aquatic robot which can “smell” polluting substances, using integrated biological and chemical sensors
Monitoring of obese patients via sensors integrated into smart textiles
Integrated neuroprosthesis to facilitate motor control & recovery after spinal cord injury
High accuracy surgery for minimally invasive interventions of the ear
Effective hydrogen production system using sunlight and water
Next-generation, high-quality, mobile ultrasound imaging device
14
ED activities
Education and Dissemination of results is an integral part of Nano-Tera.ch. ED activities typically support short courses, workshops, mini-conferences, as well as the development of new curricula.
15
Korea-Switzerland Joint Workshop Following this successful event, Nano-Tera participated in a joint workshop hosted by the
Center for Integrated Smart Sensors (CISS) at KAIST, on October 17-18, 2013 Invited Nano-Tera delegation:
G. De Micheli, M. Rajman, K. Aberer, D. Atienza, Y. Leblebici, P. Ryser (EPFL) L. Benini, Q. Huang (ETHZ)
Swiss researchers and their Korean counterparts (including Byeong Guk Park, SNU, and Hoi-Jun Yoo, KAIST) gave presentations on smart healthcare, biosensing, sensing architectures
Good opportunity to strengthen partnership between Nano-Tera.ch and CISS and hold comprehensive discussions on the future of next generation smart sensors
16
BRIDGE
Nano-Tera.ch has identified concrete examples of the technological gap is Switzerland
A proposal is being put forward for a new collaborative framework funding research and innovation in Switzerland
Strengthen the conversion of publicly-funded research into pre-competitive innovation Cross-exposure of interconnection of personnel Junior researchers and freshly graduated PhDs
17
International Exchange Program
Nano-Tera.ch has welcomed two prominent international researchers to make a series of talks in various institutions involved in Nano-Tera
Prof. Krishna Palem (Rice University) Pioneering contributions to the foundations of embedded computing
Visit July 2013
Prof. Rahul Sarpeshkar (MIT)Central contributions in the area of ultra energy efficient systems in
biology, engineering and medicine Visit October 2013
The possibility to invite new international scientists in the framework of the Nano-Tera International Exchange Program will soon be open to all PIs
and Co-PIs involved in Nano-Tera projects
