Advanced Sensors Design

Sensor development is a strength of Lincoln Ventures  Ltd.  Our work has included investigation of novel transduction techniques and the application of smart electronics and processing to extract the desired signal from extraneous influences such as noise or unwanted parameters. 

 

This work has lead to the development of novel sensors,  some of which have been commercialised by our industry partners.
