Electrical and Electronic Measurements – IMIS-01/B
The scientific-disciplinary sector IMIS-01/B – Electrical and Electronic Measurements is traditionally cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary, and must therefore have the capacity to address cutting-edge scientific and technological challenges involving different fields, methodologies, and applications.
Main Research Areas
The main lines of research that the sector intends to develop are structured as follows:
- Biomedical measurements
- Measurement techniques for biomedical applications: particular attention is paid to diagnostics and monitoring of physiological parameters (e.g., diagnostics using medical image processing and "-omics" information).
- Design of biomedical sensors and devices: development focuses on the detection of biomedical signals, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
- Measures with artificial intelligence and on artificial intelligence
- Integration of AI algorithms into measurement systems: to enable the processing and interpretation of measurement information that cannot be obtained using traditional data processing methods (e.g., environmental monitoring using satellite images).
- Evaluation of AI model performance: using typical metrology techniques to evaluate and improve performance in terms of reliability and accuracy.
- Development of innovative sensors
- Design and implementation of new sensors: use of advanced technologies and materials to increase sensitivity and precision (for example, distributed sensors for measuring the distribution of dielectric constants in extended media such as soil).
- Miniaturization and integration: development of sensors suitable for portable and wearable devices (also integrated with haptic and AR-VR technologies).
- Measures for smart industry
- Advanced measurement systems for industrial monitoring: with IoT technologies, artificial vision with AI, etc.
- Predictive maintenance techniques: tools for quality control and for improving process efficiency and sustainability.
