DESCRIPTION:Dr. Simon S. Park\, University of Calgary\, Canada\nWith the a
 dvent of information and communication technologies (ICT)\, the cost effec
 tive\, robust and accurate sensors are becoming important elements of inte
 rnet of things (IoT). Polymeric composite sensors that utilize carbon nan
 oparticulates\, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphenes can provide 
 unique advantages. The sensing mechanism is attributed to the effect of in
 ter-CNT conductivity through the physically absorbed hydrocarbon molecules
  between the CNTs or graphenes.\n\nOrganised by the Reconfigurable Robotic
 s Lab and the NCCR Robotics\n\nBio: Dr. Simon Park and his team have been 
 investigating nanocomposite-based sensor networks. In addition\, he will d
 iscuss fabrication of copper nanocomposite electrodes using Intense Pulsed
  Light (IPL) sintering. In this presentation\, he will provide some of exa
 mples of nanocomposite based sensors such as strain and force sensors\, hy
 drocarbon leak detection sensors\, humidity sensors\, etc. It is envisage
 d as the technology of choice for various monitoring applications.\n\nIn 2
 004\, Dr. Park has formed the Micro Engineering\, Dynamics\, and Automat
 ion Laboratory (MEDAL\, www.ucalgary.ca/medal) to investigate the synergi
 stic integration of both subtractive and additive processes that uniquely 
 provide productivity\, flexibility and accuracy to the processing of compl
 ex components. His research interests include micro & nano machining\, nan
 o engineering\, nanocomposites\, sensors\, and alternative energy applicat
 ions. He has also founded two start-up companies in sensing and oil extrac
 tions.\n\nHe is also an associate editor of the Journal of Manufacturing
  Processes\, SME (Elsevier) and International Journal of Precision Engine
 ering and Manufacturing-Green Technology (Springer). He has served as the
  president of International Institute of Micromanufacturing (I2M2) from 20
 14-2015.  Currently\, he is directly supervising over 20 students and sch
 olars.\n
