IEEE international Summer School – Florence

The International Summer School is an event organized by the IEEE Italy Sensors Chapter in 2020 with a special focus on Ultrasonic and Piezoelectric Sensors.

Topics:

State of the art of applications
Technologies of ultrasonic and piezoelectric sensors
Piezoelectric materials for sensors and transducers for industry, medicine, robotics, micro fabrication technologies (CMUT, PMUT, screen printing, laser ablation)
Equivalent model of sensors; frequency range and signals levels for different applications
Analog and digital electronic systems for real time ultrasonic transducer signals conditioning and processing.
Ultrasound medical echographic imaging for diagnostics (2D and 3D imaging, vector Doppler imaging)
Industrial applications of ultrasonic and piezoelectric sensors
Ultrasound guided waves systems and signal processing for Non-Destructive testing and Structural Health Monitoring
Tactile sensing
Energy harvesting
Pressure sensors, flow sensors, microbalances
Wearable and IoT applications
Biometric imaging
Researchers and academics with long experience in these fields will provide online lectures. Two keynote speakers with outstanding CV will give lectures.

Finally, two interactive demonstrations of ultrasonic systems will be organized in order to perform experiments remotely.
