The University of Macau (UM) State Key Laboratory of Analog and
Mixed-Signal (AMSV), recently
signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with International Iberian
Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) from Braga, Portugal. This collaboration will
enable both UM and INL to introduce a new level of signal processing for
sensors, within the Internet of Things, and biomedical devices.
The MOU was signed by Prof Rui
Martins, vice rector (research) of UM; and Prof Lars Montelius, director general
of INL, in the witness of researchers and scholars from both UM and INL. According to Prof Montelius, this collaboration will
strengthen INL’s capacity
since the AMSV’s knowledge and research capacity are
complimentary to INL. These initiatives aim to open new doors to scientific collaboration
and new business opportunities to both AMSV and INL.
Many of the research
activities of INL and AMSV are complementary: INL works on nanotechnology
(back-end), while AMSV focuses on applications (front-end). This
front-to-back-end collaboration increases the capability of both institutions
to conduct cutting-edge research projects. The two institutions are currently
working together on a research project titled ‘Portable Electronic Devices for Food-quality
Screening’. This is their first joint research project. Located in Braga (north of
Portugal), INL, one of the top laboratories of nanotechnology in Europe, was
founded by the governments of Portugal and Spain under an international legal
framework to perform interdisciplinary research, as well as deploy and
articulate nanotechnology for the benefit of society.
