Professor Lee Ki-won Develops a Multifunctional Wearable Sensor Patch for Monitoring Plant Health

-Development of a Wearable Multifunctional Plant Sensor That Can Simultaneously Measure Temperature, Humidity and Volatile Organic Matter With High Sensitivity-

-Expected to Be Used as a Core Technology for Future Agriculture and Forestry Industries Such as Smart Farm Technology-

-Published Thesis (IF:14.98) in the International Renowned Journal AAAS Publication Science Advances-

Professor Lee Ki-won (Department of Chemical Engineering), through joint research with Professor Qingshan Wei and Professor Yong Zhu of North Carolina State University to accurately detect various physical and chemical signals used to sustain life, such as changing surface temperature/humidity and volatile organic matter generated in plant pores and developed a high-performance flexible multifunction sensor patch that can be monitored in real time.

The study was conducted with the support of the USDA (2019-6730-293111, 3.0096) and the NSF (1728370, 2134664), and the results were published in AAAS Publishing's Science Advances (IF:14.98), the world's leading scientific journal.
