OTFTs offer many benefits for implementation as sensory platform including solution processability\, co st-effectiveness\, ease of manufacturing\, and superior compatibility to f unctional nanomaterials and biomolecules. These benefits have led to inten se research in using OTFT as a sensory platform for chemical\, biological\ , and environmental applications.\n\nIn my talk\, I will share some of our recent research highlights on implementing OTFT based non-invasive biosen sor technologies for detection of metabolites and proteomic biomarkers. Ta rget applications include monitoring body homeostasis and identifying earl y signs of pathogenesis for certain diseases including Parkinson’s disea se and Alzheimer’s disease. More specifically\, the talk will cover elec trolyte gated FET (EGFET) platforms\, and carbon nanoparticles based OTFTs . Amongst the sensors discussed\, we will take a closer look at integratin g functional nanomaterials within device framework to achieve the desired sensory response. Various device design and modeling strategies will be br iefly discussed.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Ravi Prakash\n\nVirtual: https://event s.vtools.ieee.org/m/416997 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/416997 ORGANIZER:sharmistha.bhadra@mcgill.ca SEQUENCE:25 SUMMARY:Invited Talk: Organic Transistors as Sensory Platforms for Health a nd Environmental Applications (IEEE Sensors Council Chapter) URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/416997 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justi fy\;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'\,sans-serif\;">Organic Thin Film T ransistors (OTFTs) rely on polymer-based semiconductors\, dielectrics\, an d conductive materials\, often in conjunction with some inorganic material s such as metal nanoparticles\, metal oxides\, etc.\, to create tunable de vice behavior.
