From August 11 to 14, 2024, Prof. Fang Yu and Prof. Peng Haonan of the Institute of New Concept Sensors and Molecular Materials attended the 20th Sensors and their Application Conference and the 5th International Conference of Fibre Optic and Photonic Sensors for Industrial and Safety Application held at the University of Limerick, Ireland.

Fang Yu made an invited report titled “Adlayer Structure Innovation and Film-based Fluorescent Sensors”, detailing the latest research progress of his group in the field of Film-based fluorescent sensors, which was highly praised by the experts attending the meeting. Peng Haonan presented an invited report titled “Construction of fluorescent compounds exhibiting strong luminescence and high photochemical stability for VOC sensing” at the parallel session.

The conference was sponsored by the Institute of Measurement & Control, and was supported by the China Instrument and Control Society, the Institute of Physics, the University of Limerick in Ireland and the Fiber Optic Sensor Branch of the Chinese Society of Optical Engineering.

As an important academic event in the field of sensing technology, this conference attracted many experts, scholars and business people from around the world to discuss the latest research results and future development direction of sensing technology.

During the conference, Fang Yu and Peng Haonan conducted in-depth exchanges with international counterparts and discussed the future direction of cooperation. In addition, Fang group’s research results, especially the application of film-based fluorescence sensing technology and gas sensor diaphragm materials, have also aroused strong interest in the industry.
