He is on the editorial board of Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, Frontiers in Nanotechnology, Nanomaterials, and editor of 10 handbooks (Elsevier and Springer Nature), PI/Co-PI of 12 projects, and co-author of 150 publications.

Zeynep Altintas is a full professor and the Chair of Bioinspired Materials and Biosensor Technologies at the University of Kiel, Germany. She has been the Head of Biosensors and Receptor Development Group at the Technical University of Berlin since 2016. She completed her Ph.D. on biomedical sensors at the age of 25 with the outstanding Ph.D. student award. Her Ph.D. period brought her several other research prizes and fellowships. Following a one-year postdoc position at the Cranfield Biotechnology Centre, she continued her academic career as a faculty member of Biomedical Engineering at Cranfield University (the UK) until 2016. She leads an interdisciplinary research group in the domains of biosensor technologies, computational chemistry, receptor design, functional polymers and their applications in (bio)chemical sciences, nanomaterials applications, and design, synthesis, and characterization of biomimetic materials.

De la contraportada

Advanced Sensor Technology: Biomedical, Environmental, and Construction Applications introduces readers to the past, present, and future of sensor technology and its emerging applications in a wide variety of different fields.

The book is organized in five parts. Part I provides the historical context and future outlook of sensor technology development and introduces some of the latest emerging applications. Part II: Biomedical Applications details the use of sensors throughout their many applications in healthcare, health and life science research, and even public health and safety. Part III: Environmental Applications discusses chemical sensors as they are used in environmental monitoring and remediation of contaminants in water, soil, air, and more. Part IV: Construction and Other Applications reviews the use of sensors in a variety of industries such as food, agriculture, fire prevention, automotive and robotics, and more. Part V concludes the book with a look forward at the challenges that must be overcome in the development and use of sensing technology as well as their commercial use.

Advanced Sensor Technology is appropriate for the interdisciplinary community of researchers and practitioners interested in the development of sensor technologies. This includes chemists, biochemists, chemical engineers, and other related disciplines.
