A central focus will be the development of miniaturized, low\u002DSWaP sensors to support distributed, persistent and autonomous detection architectures.\u003C/p\u003E\u000A\u003Cp\u003ETopics will include emerging approaches to chemical and biological sensing and identification\u003B microsensor and microfabrication technologies\u003B sensor miniaturization and integration\u003B power, sensitivity, selectivity, and performance tradeoffs\u003B autonomous and distributed sensing\u003B multi\u002Dmodal sensor integration\u003B and the application of data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to improve detection and characterization.\u003C/p\u003E\u000A\u003Cp\u003EThe seminar will also explore how advances in materials science, microelectronics, photonics, nanotechnology, microfluidics and related disciplines could contribute to future CBRN microsensor capabilities. Particular attention will be given to research that can reduce sensor size and power requirements while maintaining the performance necessary for operationally relevant detection.\u003C/p\u003E",
