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

 

The duration of the School will be declared with the Certification of Attendance in order to assign the equivalent credit.

Participation will be verified by monitoring the connection from specified email given at the subscription.

Each student will be provided with a text for the final exam with 6 open questions to be completed within 1 hour. On the basis of the evaluation (positive for over 60%) a certification will be provided for passing the test.

Prof. Luca De Marchi from University of Bologna will deliver a lecture at the Summer School, about "Ultrasound signal processing in guided waves inspections".
