Current Research Activities

Dr. Kourosh Kalantar-zadeh is currently undertaking research on Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Biosensors as part of a project with the CRC for Micro-technology, Australia.

Kourosh is internationally well known for his contributions to the field of acoustic wave sensors, the development of layered Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensors.

His other current research involvements include: development of gas and biochemical sensors based on nano-particles, optical sensors, conductometric sensors, and optical devices.

Nano research: He is investigating the effect of the addition of carbon nano-tubes to conductive polymers, nano-sized crystallites thin films for sensing applications and effect of nano particles on crystals.

His previous research and development involvements include: propagation of acoustic and electromagnetic waves in underwater media and ionospheric surveillance systems.
