Optical Fiber Sensor Design for Ground Slope Movement Monitoring for Railway Safety Operations (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hook, D., Laing, W., Kerrouche, A., Barreto Gonzalez, D., & Alwis, L. S. (2018). Optical Fiber Sensor Design for Ground Slope Movement Monitoring for Railway Safety Operations. In 2018 IEEE Sensors Proceedings (1-4). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICSENS.2018.8

Scour and slope instability are a major issue in keeping the railway structures safe and operational. Conventional measurement techniques do not allow real-time monitoring of slope movement and/or are time/resource consuming. Novel fiber optic techno...

Graphene-Oxide and Hydrogel Coated FBG-Based pH Sensor for Biomedical Applications (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Binetti, L., Stankiewicz, A., & Alwis, L. S. M. (2018). Graphene-Oxide and Hydrogel Coated FBG-Based pH Sensor for Biomedical Applications. Proceedings, 2(13), 789. https://doi.org/10.3390/proceedings2130789

A hydrogel coated fibre grating-based pH sensor for biomedical applications has been realised, where Graphene Oxide (GO) had been used to enhance the bonding between the coating and the fibre. Two methods of deposition of GO were analysed i.e., evapo... Read More about Graphene-Oxide and Hydrogel Coated FBG-Based pH Sensor for Biomedical Applications.

Smart Jewellery: The Future Of Health Monitoring (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alwis, L. S., & Vones, K. (2018, November). Smart Jewellery: The Future Of Health Monitoring. Paper presented at U!REKA: Urban Research and Education Knowledge Alliance 2018, Frankfurt, Germany

The project has revolved around developing a responsive, wearable prototype object that creates playful interactions by sensing bodily and environmental stimuli, and expresses these through activating elements that consist of colour changing chromi...

Evaluating the Performance of Functionalized Carbon Structures with Integrated Optical Fiber Sensors under Practical Conditions (2018)
Journal Article
Bremer, K., Alwis S. M., L., Weigand, F., Kuhne, M., Zheng, Y., Krüger, M., …Roth, B. (2018). Evaluating the Performance of Functionalized Carbon Structures with Integrated Optical Fiber Sensors under Practical Conditions. Sensors, 18(11), 3923. https

An Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) based fiber optic sensor scheme “embedded” in concrete for the purpose of structural health monitoring (SHM) of carbon concrete composites (C3) is presented. The design, while strengthening the concret... Read More about Evaluating the Performance of Functionalized Carbon Structures with Integrated Optical Fiber Sensors under Practical Conditions.
