The National Science Foundation Division of Industrial Innovation awarded Kent State University $550,000 under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The three-year project grant runs from July 2021 through June 2024 and supports the development of a zero-power optical sensor platform for toxic gas detection. As part of the collaboration, Ohio Lumex Co., Inc. will provide equipment, facilities, personnel and a testing apparatus to create custom gas mixtures and evaluate sensors' responses to toxic gases. Ohio Lumex will also offer entrepreneurial training to one of Kent State's post-doctoral researchers. The subaward details real-world business problem solving experience for professional development that complements the project's goal of advancing gas sensor technology.
