Sensors Spring 2024

May 17, 2024 | 9AM – 3PM (Stockholm) | online via Zoom

Chair: Dr Mikael Syväjärvi

There are various sensors for various applications. We can learn from other types of sensors for different applications than the one we explore in our sensor. This can provide insights on new ways to fabricate and use our sensors.

The workshop is primarly for career building researchers (from young to mid career and advancing researchers).

Even though there is a great presentation, a large part of insight comes from asking questions. The workshop is interactive. It will have 20 minutes for each presentation. Each presention should plan for 10 minutes presentation and 10 minutes discussion. The interactive format creates exchange and is useful for building your network. Read more about the interactive format and its benefits.

Workshop registration fee: 120 EUR

Learning from other sensor types and sensor researchers

Different sensors collect different types of data, but the methods used to analyze and interpret the data can be similar. You can learn from other’s approaches on data handling and analysis techniques to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of your own sensors. Sensors often operate in various environmental conditions and there are useful insights on how different sensors are made robust and adaptable to several parameters. For sensors which interact with users, sensor researchers can exchange ideas about user interface design and user experience optimization. Combining data from different types of sensors can lead to more accurate and comprehensive monitoring systems. Researchers can learn from each other’s experiences in integrating sensor data for improved outcomes. There are many possibilities to learn from other sensor types.

Interactive format

Interaction can reveal aspects of the research that were not initially apparent, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the topic. A presentation often contain complex or highly technical information. Questions serve as a tool for clarification, helping to gain a clearer understanding of the subject. Interaction stimulate engagement and they turn a presentation into a dialogue. That is fostering an environment of active learning and intellectual exchange, rather than passive listening. It often leads to new perspectives or ideas that neither the presenter or the audience may have considered. This can be particularly valuable in interdisciplinary research topics where diverse viewpoints contribute to understanding sensors.
