Integrated Photonics On-chip Metamaterial-based Sensing

Our project is focused on leveraging gas-sensing technology to develop an innovative solution for the critical environmental issue of gas leakages in pipelines. These gas leaks, if active, can have significant negative effects on the environment, such as causing climate change and smog. By creating a sophisticated sensor network and a robust sensor data analysis framework, we aimed to accurately monitor and report gas concentrations in real-time, enabling swift identification of leaks within a defined radius.

Integrating these sensors onto autonomous drones will further enhance our system's capabilities, allowing for rapid, cost-effective, and scalable surveillance of vast pipeline networks. This initiative stands to make significant contributions to public health and safety providing an early-warning mechanism against potentially hazardous gas emissions.
