For example, motion sensors that turn lights off and on. However, sensors could be powerful tools to help monitor people\u2019s health in a non-invasive way. As science develops a large amount of research is being done to make sensors smaller and more efficient. Continuous glucose monitors and smart rings are a great example of recent advancements.    Development of technologies like these is the research focus of our guest this week, Pavel Sengupta.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2150\/files\/2026\/01\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"289\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2150\/files\/2026\/01\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2150\/files\/2026\/01\/image.png 289w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/2150\/files\/2026\/01\/image-138x300.png 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br>Pavel is a 5th year PhD student in the lab of Dr. Dipankar Koley, in the division of Analytical Chemistry here at OSU. Pavel is from Kolkata, India and came to America after earning his B.S. and M.S. from the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology. Driven by his curiosity and strong sense of wonder for science, Pavel has become a pillar of his Department and OSU as a whole. It is our pleasure to share his story on Inspiration Dissemination.  <br><br>Tune into KBVR 88.7 FM at 7 pm PST on January 11th to hear Pavel talk about how he let his passions steer his path through education and research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Written by E Hernandez<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The term \u201csensors\u201d is broad and often conjures up different ideas in people\u2019s heads.
