DESCRIPTION:IEEE Sensors Council Kenyatta University Chapter in collaborati
 on with the the Department of Electrical &amp; Electronic Engineering\, is hon
 ored to host Professor Sandro Carrara from the École Polytechnique Fédé
 rale de Lausanne (EPFL)\, Switzerland. Prof. Carrara—former Editor-in-Ch
 ief of the IEEE Sensors Journal and recipient of the prestigious John Vig 
 Meritorious Service Award—is visiting Kenya for academic engagements at 
 JKUAT and has kindly accepted an invitation to address our students and fa
 culty. His visit provides a rare opportunity for our engineering community
  to interact with one of the leading global experts in sensors and bio-ele
 ctronics.\n\nDuring the session\, Prof. Carrara will deliver a technical t
 alk on Wearable and Implantable Sensors for Remote Monitoring of Human Hea
 lth\, offering insights into cutting-edge sensor technologies\, biomedical
  applications\, and current research trends in smart health monitoring sys
 tems. Students will also gain exposure to opportunities within IEEE Sensor
 s Council\, guidance on research and technical paper development\, and an 
 introduction to innovation pathways at EPFL. This engagement aims to inspi
 re young engineers\, strengthen KU’s engineering capacity\, and foster i
 nternational collaboration in sensors\, innovation\, and applied research.
