Development of photoactivated gas sensors to monitor soil nutrients in smart agricultural systems Yamamoto, Karisse

Description

Karisse Yamamoto was a semi-finalist in the 2024 UBC Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. Karisse presented their research, "Development of Photoactivated Gas Sensors to Monitor Soil Nutrients in Smart Agricultural Systems." They hope to develop UV-activated gas sensors for real-time monitoring of soil nutrients, contributing to precision farming and environmental sustainability. Among the technologies implemented in smart agriculture systems, an advanced sensing system that monitors the main soil macronutrients, nitrogen (N), is of paramount importance because it allows farmers to minimize resource input and environmental impacts, while maximizing crop yield. The incorporation of ultraviolet (UV)- activated gas sensors into smart agricultural sensing technology, coupled with the Internet of Things (IoT), could lead to real-time evaluation of soil nutrients, signifying a transformative leap in precision farming. Karisse’s research investigates the development and performance of UV-activated strontium doped tin oxide (Sr - SnO2) thin film sensing layer. Karisse Yamamoto is completing their MSc in Chemical and Biological Engineering in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Fariborz Taghipour.
