Welcome to the Advanced Sensor Technology Laboratory (ASTL)


The missions of the Advanced Sensor Technology Laboratory (ASTL) are focused on developing state-of-the-art sensor technologies for real-time diagnosis and prognosis of structural health conditions and providing a multi-disciplinary learning environment for students to participate in world class research activities.

Current research projects at ASTL cover a broad range of topics, including:

  • LPFG-based optical fiber distance sensor development

  • Laser reflectance sensors for material damage detection

  • Passive wireless sensors for strain and high temperature measurement

  • Hybrid silica/polymer optical fiber sensor for large strain measurement

  • Tapered optical fiber sensor for bio/chemical sensing

  • Study of elastic wave generation using piezoelectric patches
