Congrats to Sara Shadman on 3rd place Best Poster at #BioMedEng25! She’s turning our plasmonic “tongue” sensors into all-silicon nanophotonic biosensors, boosting stability and real-world potential for fluid analysis & disease detection. @UofGlasgow @UofGEngineering

[James Watt School of Engineering, Uni. of Glasgow @UofGEngineering]

Meet the world’s first solid-state “artificial tongue” which could improve quality control, reduce testing times from weeks to seconds and deliver significant operational efficiencies to manufacturers worldwide in the beverage, fragrance and agricultural industries.

@UofGlasgow made a great video of our work on Nanoscale Tongue Sensors for Industrial applications. Always looking for new challenges for this exciting technology.

Back at Scottish Water’s Carron Valley Treatment Works with our new portable Artificial Taste Bud system.
Testing on real-world water treatment + contamination challenges. Early results look very promising. Getting closer to an industry-ready monitoring solution. @UofGlasgow

[Alasdair W Clark @AWClarkResearch]

We are very happy to have recently had Finlay Walton join our group. Finlay will be working on our Artificial Taste-Bud technology; looking at new applications and doing some tech development.

Some very nice work out of the lab of @wpeveler that I was lucky enough to be remotely connected to :) https://t.co/EvptJRxIPF @acsnano

[Will Peveler @wpeveler]

@guire96 caps her successful viva last week with https://t.co/vcmjLmjyC4 - thanks to all our collaborators who helped this happen @UofGChem @JeskoKoehnke and team @WernerNau and Sunhang @AWClarkResearch @JennyGracie_ Tung-Chun Lee, David France and Charlotte Bryson @acsnano

[SENSR BIS @SENSR_BIS]

Calling ECRs based in Scotland to talk about biosensing and bioimaging at the @UofGARC on the 29th of June. Registration is free and opens soon!! Follow us to stay updated and share amongst your colleagues. With the support of the @RoySocChem and @UofGChem.

[Alasdair W Clark @AWClarkResearch]

Congratulations @msantanavega ! Excellent work and an excellent presentation @PhotonicsWest

[Marina Santana @msantanavega]

I won the Young Investigator Award at the Single Molecule Spectroscopy and Superresolution Imaging conference at #PhotonicsWest2023. Thank you @PicoQuant for the recognition, to @carlosbueno1976 and the @RNAsLOLA team. #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM @AWClarkResearch @UofGlasgow

[Alasdair W Clark @AWClarkResearch]

@MilesPadgett @PhotonicsWest @rapha I think it’s worth it. Have a good ride on Sat!

[Alasdair W Clark @AWClarkResearch]

Took a very short break from @PhotonicsWest to go for a bike ride @rapha Hopefully the conference will forgive me 😂

[Alasdair W Clark @AWClarkResearch]

@MilesPadgett @PhotonicsWest @rapha Hi Miles! I hired it from the Rapha store here. If you are an RCC member they have some very nice bikes to rent.

[Justin Sperling @justsper]

Great talk by @msantanavega at #PhotonicsWest on the fluorous effect @AWClarkResearch @UofGlasgow @UofGSciEng

[Alasdair W Clark @AWClarkResearch]

Flying to @PhotonicsWest and already seeing some neat optical effects on the plane! @UofGARC @UofGEngineering
