The NSSN Frontiers in Sensing Forum 2020, opened by The Hon. Matt Kean MP, NSW Minister for Energy & Environment, brought together smart sensing and bushfire experts with key policymakers to explore the role of smart sensing technology in delivering solutions for bushfire prevention, mitigation and response.

A point of care, rapid testing for SARS-CoV-2 project led by Scientia Professor Justin Gooding, Co-Director at NSSN and the Australian Centre for NanoMedicine has received funding under the newly established UNSW COVID-19 Rapid Response Research Fund.

The NSSN has joined the fight against COVID-19 by bringing together NSW-based electrical manufacturer Circuitwise with a consortium of companies led by Grey Innovation that aim to produce 2,000 invasive ventilators in Australia.

In this article, NSSN Engineers Dr Ayu Saraswati and Jimmy Tran explore how the data gathered by smart sensors is transferred to AI applications for processing.

The NSSN Frontiers of Sensing Forum 2020 will take place online from 15:00 to 17:00 on Thursday 7 May 2020. The theme of this year’s Forum is Smart Sensing for Bushfire Prevention, Response & Mitigation.

NSSN sister research network, the Defence Innovation Network, is calling for proposals for research projects that explore sensors to monitor the performance of working dogs in military settings.
