Seminars
Optical Sensing in Bioinstrumentation
- Date: 2nd Sep 2019
- Speaker: Andrew Taberner (IEEE IMS DL)
- Location: Gijón Polytechnic School of Engineering
- Total number of registrants: 40
- Description: This talk included: 1) diffuse optical imaging methods for monitoring the depth of a drug as it is rapidly injected through the skin, without requiring a needle; 2) stretchy soft optical sensors for measuring strains of up to several 100 % during movement; 3) multicamera image registration techniques for measuring the 3D shape and strain of soft tissues; 4) optical coherence tomography techniques for detecting the 3D shape of deforming muscle tissues, and 5) polarisation sensitive imaging techniques for classifying the optical and mechanical properties of biological membranes.
On the other hand, this event had a special impact on a local newspaper because the next academic year my University is planning to set up a master’s degree in bioengineering.
Wearables solutions on IoT for secure identification and industrial application
- Date: 29 March 2019
- Speakers: Dr. Raúl del Coso (CTO at Wetech)
- Location: Gijón Polytechnic School of Engineering
- Total number of registrants: 120
- Description: This webinar focuses on IoT hardware security technologies (for identification and payments), UWB for indoor localization, and IoT communications (Sigfox, LoRa, and Nb-IoT). In addition, some projects with companies using these technologies were commented on: payments with Mastercard and Festina, indoor location with Tuinsa and IOFV and IoT communications with Cepsa.
