Final-year chemical engineering student Ahsan Mehmood.
Chemical engineering undergraduate of Curtin University Malaysia (Curtin Malaysia) Ahsan Mehmood has his finalyear project paper published in Scientific Report by Nature, the leading multi-disciplinary science publisher. ‘Graphene/PVA Buckypaper for Strain Sensor Application’ was his research project into a category of smart sensors called strain sensors composed of graphene-based buckypaper. According to Ahsan, these could be suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications like sports performance monitoring, virtual reality, personal healthcare, human-machine interface and more.
“In this digital age, we are surrounded by all sorts of smart sensors. We have smart lights that allow real-time adjustment of their intensity and colours to create different room ambiences, and smart health-monitoring strain sensors that can predict early symptoms of chronic diseases and provide real-time monitoring of critical health parameters, for example “Now, we are transitioning into a new era of smart buildings and cities with new innovations in electronics and intelligent smart sensors for data collection and real-time monitoring on an unprecedented scale. This is where high-performance strain sensors such as the one we synthesised in our research can play a huge role,” he said.
Ahsan’s research project was under the supervision of Associate Professor Mubarak Mujawar of Department of Chemical Engineering at Curtin Malaysia’s Faculty of Engineering and Science. Accomplished researcher, Mubarak who leads the Materials and Structure research cluster at the Faculty as well as supervised. Ahsan’s research said it was a great honour for a student to have his paper published in such a prestigious scientific journal, testimony of the high quality of education Curtin provides.
The project paper in Scientific Report by Nature can be read at https://www.nature.com/articles/ s41598-020-77139-2.
