Scientists developing cutting-edge sensor technology for the subsea, renewable-energy, marine and fishery industries will put their work on show in Aberdeen today.
The open laboratory day for subsea sensor technologies will show the work of academics from the Granite City’s two universities who work together as part of the Scottish Sensor Systems Centre (S3C). Work on display will include technology used in space exploration now being developed for use subsea to detect potential oil fields and pipeline faults, a 3D holographic camera and mouldable foam capable of detecting chemicals including gas in low concentration.
Richard Neilson, from Aberdeen University’s school of engineering, who spearheads the S3C’s subsea work, said: “The event is a chance for attendees to find out what facilities, technologies and facilities Aberdeen University and Robert Gordon University can offer locally, and a chance for us to understand what industry is looking for and needs. This knowledge-exchange activity between industry and academia will help us achieve these aims.”
The event is being held at Aberdeen University’s school of engineering at the King’s College campus and at Robert Gordon University’s Schoolhill campus.
