Developing PFAS sensors based on molecular imprinting polymers and advanced electrochemical sensing for on-site soil analysis. Detecting per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in soil is crucial for environmental monitoring due to their persistence and toxicity. Following RIVM (Dutch National Institute for Public Health and Environment), the background contamination of main PFAS contents in Dutch soil…

Investigation and Optimization of Testing Methodologies for Photonic Chips Project Details: Effective testing of photonic chips at different production stages remains a critical challenge, especially when considering the integration of active and passive components. The primary goal of this project is to research, develop, and optimize methodologies for testing photonic chips with/without integrated active components…

Development of an inkjet printing procedure for bio layers We need help developing an inkt-jet printing procedure for AB biolayers.Within the 4PC project we are developing a bio-photonic cartridge. To be able to do this we need to print one or more biolayers on the surface of a photonic chip. To be able to do…

Measuring Photonic Chips for E-Nose Development  One of the research lines within the Applied Nanotechnology group at Saxion University of Applied Sciences (Enschede) focuses on the development of gas sensors. One of the options we are exploring involves modifying photonic chips. By applying various polymers to these chips, we aim to make them sensitive to…

Sensors for Ammonia Detection in Poultry Houses One of the research lines within the Applied Nanotechnology group at Saxion University of Applied Sciences (Enschede) focuses on the development of gas sensors. One of the options we are exploring involves modifying capacitive chips and photonic chips. By applying various polymers to these chips, we aim to…

Large scale data generation of ground water levels using smart sensors to combat drought and flooding Due to climate change and soil subsidence, drought is becoming an increasing challenge in the Netherlands. Groundwater management responsibilities are fragmented across provinces, water boards, municipalities, and landowners, complicating effective management. Accurate and predictive insights at both the parcel…

At home measurement of an inflammation biomarker The ability to monitor disease processes remotely can enable self-management in order to provide the proper care to remote patients.Biomedical outcomes (laboratory or imaging), functional outcomes (physical or mental functioning) or patient-reported outcomes (PROMs: symptoms, perceptions) can be used to determine disease activity and/or the effect of interventions.Specific…

Continuous Glucose Monitoring in the Intensive Care Unit Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) in intensive care (ICU) patients is strongly associated with increased morbidity and mortality. In addition to the fact that stress-induced hyperglycemia occurs due to being seriously ill, the frequent use of corticosteroids in the ICU can have hyperglycemia as a side effect. According…

Quantum secure authentication: R&D into hardware and control protocols. Within the national program for Quantum Technology (Quantum Delta NL), an important task has been reserved for training students and researchers for the upcoming industry. As part of this effort, the research group Applied Nanotechnology has set up an applied research lab, where the latest quantum…
