Sensor Science and Technology (M.S.)

The new Master of Science in Sensor Science and Technology degree offers advanced and multidisciplinary training in sensor science and technology with an emphasis of targeting problems in health and the environment. Current and future sensor systems must utilize advanced sensing platforms and computational algorithms to intuitively and intelligently collect, connect, analyze, and interpret data from individuals, devices, and systems for systemic and precise detection and assessment. Students gain a specialized education in sensor science and technology that includes sensor principles, mechanism of recognition events, materials and methods involved in characterization and signal transduction, the application background of various sensors, and important factors in making a sensor device. They receive hands-on sensor research experience and training in the field’s latest principles, methods, techniques, and technologies. This one-of-a-kind program will prepare you for a career developing smart scientific and technology innovations to address health and environmental issues, including: sensor invention toward emerging challenges in food safety, environmental monitoring, clinical analysis, and medical diagnosis portable, miniaturized diagnostic devices with enhanced connectivity for patients and clinicians AI-ML enabled new generation of medical instruments

Applicants are expected to hold a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering with at least two semesters of organic chemistry and two semesters of calculus. The academic adviser will assist students in determining whether any prerequisites are necessary. For international students, GRE scores are not required but recommended. Domestic students are expected to have an undergraduate GPA of 2.5 or above.
