The Innovative Chemistry Behind Water Sensor Technology

Kickoff of LiLY Lecture Series

Speaker: Johnson Dalmieda | Maintaining a clean water supply is of utmost importance for human civilization. Human activities are putting an increasing strain on Earth’s freshwater reserves and on the quality of available water on Earth. To ensure cleanliness and potability of water, sensors are required to monitor various water quality parameters in surface, ground, drinking, process, and wastewater. In this lecture, Johnson will discuss the use of sensors that can detect specific molecules in water. These are graphene based sensors that Johnson developed for his masters thesis that are easy to prepare and can be used in water sources to monitor contaminants. Come learn about cool chemistry applications with Johnson!
