General information
The University of Manchester (UNIMAN) was created by merging The Victoria University of Manchester and UMIST in 2005. It is part of the prestigious Russell Group of universities, with outstanding facilities and the widest range of courses. It is highly respected across the globe as a centre of teaching excellence and innovative research. With 25 Nobel prize winners among current and former staff and students, it has a history of world firsts and brilliant discoveries, from splitting the atom to giving the world graphene.
The School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science integrates Chemical Engineering, Instrumentation and Analytical Science, Process Integration and The Centre for Manufacture exploiting opportunities that are based upon the changing nature of science and technology across the physical, chemical and biological sciences. Research themes include advanced functional materials and analytical science, biochemical and bioprocess engineering, catalysis and porous materials, multi-scale modelling, process integration, sustainable industrial systems.
Role in the project
UNIMAN is involved in WP4 and will develop chemical sensors, electronic interfaces and software for the project together with collaborating with the systems integration of chemical sensors into Soft Miniaturised Underground Robotic Finders (SMURFs). this will be baesd on the group’s over 25 years’ experience in chemical sensing, materials development, solution processable semiconductors, device fabrication, integration with electronics and software.
Participating members in the project
Prof. Krishna Persaud
Prof. Krishna Persaud, PhD, FRSC, FInstMC, graduated with BSc Hons Biochemistry at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK in 1976, MSc in Molecular Enzymology at the University of Warwick, UK, in 1977 and a PhD specialising in olfactory biochemistry in 1980. He subsequently worked at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, University of Pisa and the Medical College of Virginia extending his knowledge in the Chemical Senses. He is now Professor of Chemoreception at the University of Manchester, Department of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science. In his career, he has carried out research in chemoreception, crossing disciplines from biological aspects of olfaction to sensor arrays, electronics, signal processing and pattern recognition, and commercial development of artificial olfaction technologies. He is a director of Multisensor Systems Ltd a spin-off company from research carried out in his laboratory
