Smart systems for environmental pollution detection and biogas production based on cloud-connected silicon photonic and microelectronic hyperspectral sensor
Air pollution poses a great environmental risk to health, accounting for nearly half a million premature deaths each year in Europe. Biogas production is an enabling technology to achieve net zero emissions, while accelerating energy diversification in Europe. Both air quality control and biogas production demand critical improvements in sensor technology. SYMPHONY will develop a new technology enabling the implementation of dense networks of cloud-connected, low-cost, portable and easy-to-use sensors, capable of multi-target detection for applications in air quality control, pollution monitoring, industrial process control and safety.
SYMPHONY will address this challenge by making key developments in silicon photonics, neuromorphic circuits, artificial intelligence, integration and packaging, while exploiting state-of-the-art silicon microelectronics for ultra-low power edge computing with AI, and the connected sensor network for spatially-resolved analysis and prediction.
