Produktbeschreibung
Optical Fiber Biosensors: Device Platforms, Biorecognition, Applications provides a comprehensive overview of the field of fiber optic sensors using an interdisciplinary approach that covers the fabrication of sensing devices and optical hardware, the functionalization to perform selective biorecognition, and the main applications of biosensors, with a present and a future outlook. Chapters discuss the principles of light propagation and the sensing devices suitable to perform biosensing with optical fibers, the process to functionalize the previous devices to selective biosensing, and applications in cells, small molecules, biomarkers and protein sensing, with a birds eye view on the most important results.

This book provides a coherent picture of fiber optic biosensors, from the start (the device) to the end (the application), explaining in simple terms what is the whole process for development of a biosensor. The book also contains practical material (e.g. commercial instruments, fabrication instructions, medical standards for biocompatibility) that cannot be easily found elsewhere, and this is very useful for researchers to plan their development and build their labs.
Autorenporträt
D. Tosi is Associate Professor at Nazarbayev University, School of Engineering, and Head of Biosensors and Bioinstruments Laboratory at National Laboratory Astana. He received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in telecommunication engineering and the Ph.D. degree in electronics and communications engineering from the Politecnico di Torino, Italy, in 2004, 2006, and 2010, respectively. From 2012 to 2014, he was a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellow at the University of Limerick, Ireland. He is a Fulbright (US) and Endeavour (Australia) Fellow and received MIT Technology Review TR35-Italy prize. His research interests are in fiber optic sensors and biosensors, biomedical optical sensors, distributed sensors, and sensor interrogation. He is an Associate Editor for IEEE Sensors Journal since 2016, and is currently guest-editing 2 special issues on Sensors journal ("Fiber Optic Sensors for Biomedical Applications? and "Bragg Grating Sensors?). In 2018 he received the IEEE Sensors Council Techn

ical Achievement Award in the Area of Sensors (Early Career). His work has been featured on international media such as Laser Focus World, Rai TV, and IET.
