The Gas Analysis & Sensing Group (GASG) has just published the first ever directory of gas sensor research at UK universities. Written by GASG committee member Robert Bogue, this 79-page, A4 document provides a detailed account of gas sensor research and development at UK universities; an activity that presently involves at least 195 workers. Following an introductory chapter which considers various aspects of the gas sensing industry, it identifies 53 individual research groups from 40 UK universities who have published and/or actively worked on this topic since 1994. It includes summaries of their research activities, details of group size and research funding, listings of the gas species under study, information on the techniques and technologies involved, selected recent publications and the names, addresses and full contact details for key workers within each group. Information is also provided on collaborations with industry and other aspects of exploitation and commercialisation such as university spin-off companies, LINK schemes and SMART awards. The document concludes with three appendices and a list of 206 references.
The report is free to GASG members and for non-members it is priced at £45 for universities and £95 for all other organisations.
