In an academic / industry consortium he designed and developed silicon-opto hybrid devices for next generation telecoms systems.

Agenda:
1. Introduction.
2. What is FAIMS (Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometry)?
3. How does the FAIMS specificity and sensitivity compare with other technologies?
4. What kinds of food samples can the FAIMS technology be used to analyze?
5. How can Food Freshness and Odour Detection be performed?
6. How can the spoilage of meat during storage and transportation be detected?
7. How can the detection of potato storage diseases be quantified in less than 5 minutes?
8. Conclusion.
