About DSSE PUBLIC LECTURES

Dhanani School of Science and Engineering (DSSE) at Habib University invites renowned professionals and academics to share their ideas on a wide variety of interesting subjects through its Public Lecture Series. The series aims to enlighten, motivate and stimulate academic debate. Each event is tailored for the general public and encourages participants to think across academic disciplines.

The SSE Public Lecture Series is open and free to attend for the general public. It is hosted at Habib University’s City Campus.

Upcoming DSSE Public Lectures

Optical Sensors for Healthcare and Food Security Applications in Low-Resource Settings

Venue: Tariq Rafi Hall
Time: 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Abstract

We will have onsite diagnostic devices for many diseases and food contaminants in the near or distant future. One of the promising directions to realize such diagnostic tools is optical sensors. Optical sensors offer various advantages, such as small footprints, low detection limits, analyte detection multiplexing, and compatibility with CMOS technology.

This talk will be geared towards the general engineering and sciences audience, where the speaker will go over the basic building blocks of optical sensors. He will provide examples of optical sensors, including our recent works toward developing viable sensors for detecting tuberculosis and milk contamination problems.


Profile of Speaker:

M. Imran Cheema

M. Imran Cheema received the Ph.D. and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering from McGill University, Canada, in 2014 and the University of Colorado at Boulder, USA, in 2007, respectively. He received his BS in Electrical Engineering from UET Lahore, Pakistan, in 2002. He is currently an assistant professor in the Electrical Engineering department at Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Pakistan. His prior appointments include a photonics engineer at Oerlikon Optics Inc., USA, and a postdoctoral researcher at McGill University, Canada. His research interests include designing and developing optical sensors for point-of-care, agriculture, and food security applications.
