DESCRIPTION:Please join the webinar by Prof. Nicole McFarlane.\n\nTitle: Te
 chnologies for Biosensing Applications\n\nAbstract:\n\nWearable and portab
 le health sensor systems have been widely sought as a means to provide lon
 g term minimally invasive\, portable\, and low cost sensing solutions. The
 se systems have applications in both assessing human health and in identif
 ying threats present in the environment. Key challenges in developing thes
 e types of systems include sensor metrics such as sensitivity and specific
 ity to an analyte along with sensor robustness and ease of fabrication. In
  addition\, size\, weight\, power\, and cost can impede adoption of any te
 chnology particularly when implemented in low resource environments. In th
 is presentation we will discuss our efforts to develop multimodal sensors 
 that take advantage of commercial foundry capabilities\, mixed signal desi
 gn approaches\, and novel devices (biological and non-biological) to addre
 ss these criteria. Specifically\, we explore low power sensors based on el
 ectrochemical\, impedance\, temperature\, pH\, and light measurements inte
 grated with secure hardware encryption\, power management\, wireless trans
 mission\, and microprocessors for signal processing.\n\nBio:\n\nNicole McF
 arlane is currently an Associate Professor in Electrical Engineering &amp; Com
 puter Science and currently serves as the TCE Advance Professor (2020\, 20
 21\, 2022 academic years) at the University of Tennessee. She earned her u
 ndergraduate and Master’s degree at Howard University and her PhD from t
 he University of Maryland\, College Park. She runs the Microbioelectronics
  lab at UTK where she combines advanced microfabrication techniques with C
 MOS readout to enable the development of low cost sensing systems. The cor
 e topics of her research are developing electrochemical sensing systems\, 
 new electrodes for cell based sensing\, CMOS based neutron detection\, lab
 -on-chip cell based sensing\, multi-modal sensing\, energy and power trade
 offs\, and hardware and biosensor security. She has served on various conf
 erence organizing committees\, is a member of the Circuits and Systems Bio
 medical and Life Science Circuits and Systems and the Sensory Systems Tech
 nical Committees\, is an Associate Editor for IEEE TBioCAS and Associate E
 ditor in Chief for Digital Communications for IEEE OJCAS\, and is currentl
