Workshop on Sensors

June 4, 2019

Athabasca University Edmonton

Funded by Athabasca University AVPR Special Research Funding

Sensors and Sensory system has been found more and more use with the advance of Internet of Things and Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. This workshop is to welcome our academic visitor, Prof. Jose Villar from University of Oviedo, Spain and also to provide opportunity for AU researchers to discuss the subject issues, especially the technology applications in healthcare and education. All the AU researchers are welcome to participate this academic research event in AU Edmonton. Following Prof. Villar's keynotes speech, AU researchers are invited to give their presentations on their research works. Hopefully, through participating this workshop, more AU researchers who have the interests and expertise in sensor and sensory technology, AI and Machine Learning, Biosensor and applications, Health-informatics, and Healthcare and Nursing study can be engaged with the multi-disciplinary research and the international research collaboration.
