Electronic Systems & Materials Engineering for Agri-Sensing

Electronics and mechanical semi-tech design and manufacture to small production scale

• 14 cubicle, controlled-environment research glasshouse (6 GM compatible) & Growth Chambers
• Large scale Makerspace & National Materials Centre

What we do

Engineering of on-line and handheld sensor systems for non-invasive detection of plant phenotypes. Specialise in low-cost, low-power, networked electronics systems, edge-computing machine learning. Technology based group partnering with Plant Science community to deliver tools and technologies for the sector.

Projects

• Active multispectral crop canopy sensors (abiotic / biotic stresses / input & output traits)
• Below soil / growth media elec. impedance imaging
• Periodically modulated fluorescence sensing
• Sentinel crop pathogenic spore detection
• Molecularly Imprinted Polymer nutrient sensing
• Distributed fibre optic chemical sensing
