In this context\, the development of affordable\, sensitive and portable biosensors requiring low volume sam ples\, less reagents and enabling rapid detection are of significant inter est. Towards this direction\, different diagnostic tests on paper based pl atforms have been commercialized. But majority of them are either semi-qua ntitative or suffer from low sensitivity for which secondary labels are in troduced to enable signal amplification.\n\nBiography:\n\nChirasree RoyCha udhuri is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronics and Tele communication Engineering of Indian institute of\nEngineering Science and Technology Shibpur. She has been engaged in\ninterdisciplinary research in the area of electrical biosensors\,\nchemical sensors and related signal processing with the aim to develop\npoint of care devices.\n\nTalk#2: Nano technology Enabled Gas Sensors\n\nPresenter: Prof. Mahnaz Shafiei\, Associ ate Professor and former Vice‐Chancellor’s Women in STEM Fellow\, Swin burne University of Technology\, Melbourne\, Australia\n\nAbstract: Sensor technology is an important enabler in modern society for detecting\, moni toring and managing phenomena in our natural and built environments. This is evident in the need for detection of trace toxic analytes and explosive gases for public safety and security\, healthcare\, transportation\, indu strial processes and monitoring of environmental pollution and air quality . . This talk will focus on development of miniature\, low‐power gas sen sors with high performance employing nanomaterials for sustainable use in health and environmental monitoring. The novel sensing materials include f unctionalised reduced graphene oxide (rGO)\, hybrid WO3‐rGO films\, WO3 nanofibres\, hybrid rGO‐Dy2O3\, 2D SnS2‐rGO and TiOx.\n\nBio: Mahnaz S hafiei is currently an Associate Professor and former Vice‐Chancellor’ s Women in STEM Fellow at Swinburne University of Technology and a visitin g fellow at Queensland University of Technology (QUT). She received a Bach elor of Science degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Amir Kabir University of Technology in Iran\, and a PhD degree from RMIT Univer sity\, Melbourne\, Australia in 2011. She followed this with postdoctoral research at QUT and an Australian Endeavour Research Fellowship at Simon F raser University\, Canada. Mahnaz’s research focus is on sensors and nan omaterials and their practical use for health and environmental monitoring . She is investigating new technologies to develop reliable\, portable gas sensors with ultra‐low power requirements to be embedded in sensor node s for the Internet‐of‐Things applications or in mobile systems.\n\nTal k #3: Point of care sensing system for early detection of osteoporosis\n\n Presenter: Dr. Nasrin Afsari Manesh\, Lecturer\, Curtin University\, Austr alia\n\nAbstract:\n\n"Early detection of any disease is essential for an e fficient treatment. Bone loss can be detected and monitored by regular mea surement of serum or urine C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTx- I). Therefore\, rapid\, portable and low-cost point-of-care devices are hi ghly desirable. In this research\, we have proposed a selective\, sensitiv e\, quick and inexpensive Internet of Things (IoT)-based sensing system fo r the quantification of CTx-I levels in serum.\n\nBio:\n\n“Nasrin Afsari manesh is from Iran. She received her Bachelor of Engineering in Electroni cs from Iran in 2006. Nasrin completed her masters’ degree in Electronic s from the University of Pune\, India in 2010 with a gold medal.

Nasrin has aut hored and co-authored over 30 research publications\, including journal ar ticles\, book chapters and conference proceedings. Nasrin’s research is mainly focussed on sensors and smart sensing systems.”\n\nTalk #4: Intel ligent Wellness Sensing and AI Technologies\n\nPresenter: Prof. Wei Chen i s Professor\, Fudan University\, Shanghai\, China\n\nAbstract:\n\nMany cha llenges exist in health monitoring and management\, such as continuous\, a ccurate\, and comfortable monitoring of multi-parameters\, early detection and warning of diseases\, as well as the interaction with environments. T he challenges in healthcare raise health risks and imposes significant eco nomic and social burden. Thus\, seeking for the innovative solutions and n ew technologies to address these issues is very important. The development of modern sensors\, Internet of Things\, advanced materials\, machine lea rning and AI technology has inspired the innovation on intelligent designs for healthcare.\n\nThe novel intelligent wellness sensing platforms seaml essly integrate smart sensing technologies\, data fusion techniques\, adva nced materials\, and clinical practice. Physiological signs\, behaviors an d environmental information can be obtained effectively. By jointly analyz ing physiological behavior parameters with environmental interaction infor mation and using data fusion technology\, the health-related activities ca n be identified. With intelligent wellness sensing platform\, personal hea lth monitoring and forecasting will be provided assisting to develop perso nal healthcare plan\, and guide people towards a healthier lifestyle. The multi-disciplinary research on intelligent wellness sensing\, machine lear ning\, and biomedical signal processing will bring new development for imp roving the quality of life for people ranging from babies to aging populat ion during their everyday life\, and have long term social impact.\n\nBiog raphy:\n\nProf. Wei Chen is Professor\, Director of Center of Intelligent Medical Electronics at School of Information Science and Technology\, and Director of the Physiological Signal and Sleep platform in the Human Pheno me Institute\, Fudan University.
