The Optical Fiber Sensors Lab explores cutting-edge optical sensing technologies for real-world applications in environmental monitoring, healthcare, and clinical diagnostics.
Our research combines fiber-optic and photonic platforms with plasmonics, nanomaterials, aptamers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), and microfluidic systems to achieve highly sensitive and selective detection of chemical and biological analytes. Optical fiber-based sensors offer several advantages, including lightweight design, compatibility with in-vivo and in-vitro monitoring, resistance to electromagnetic interference, and suitability for remote and real-time sensing. The group’s current work focuses on fiber-optic plasmonic sensors for environmental and biomedical applications, along with advanced strategies to enhance plasmonic sensor sensitivity through novel material design and photonic engineering.
