Overview
What you will study
The Chemical Sensing course provided by KTH Royal Institute of Technology builds solid knowledge on the working basis of chemical sensors. In particular, most relevant sensors will be illustrated by the most recent scientific literature in fields such as healthcare, environmental, clinical analysis and quality control.
After passing the course the student should be able to:
- Describe the diverse functioning modes of chemical sensors, their fundamental principles as well as derive useful relationships on how the sensor signal depends on different parameters.
- Demonstrate an ability to find alternative scenarios to address current sensing challenges and explain the importance of chemical sensors in the digital transformation and its relation to social, economic and environmental sustainability.
- Describe the fundamental methodology for experiments based on chemical sensors as well as perform simple experiments with them.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- The paradox of sensing any particular chemical event in our surroundings.
- The possibility of obtaining decentralized and digitalized chemical information in very efficient and trustable manner by utilizing chemical sensors with extraordinary features never seen before (e.g., implantable, submersible, miniaturized, low-cost, simple, paper-based among others).
- Tangible benefits to the society with efforts put into the democratization of the chemical information are expected outcomes that will not only ensure better quality of life, but also a deep understanding of ongoing chemical process.
- In terms of sustainable development (SD), to what extent are chemical sensors an important piece of technology that pursues social, economic and environmental sustainability will be discussed in each module.
