M3NIR
M3NIR aims to create a modular, highly adaptable and efficient multi-sensing platform, which will allow measuring a wide range of chemicals, in the liquid and gas phase. It will also introduce novel sensor approaches for the monitoring of greenhouse gas and other emissions, detection of phosphates and nitrates in water and breath analysis for health and well-being related applications.
M3NIR aspires to create a modular, highly adaptable and efficient multi-sensing platform, which will allow measuring a wide range of chemicals, in the liquid and gas phase. It will also introduce novel sensor approaches for the monitoring of greenhouse gas and other emissions, detection of phosphates and nitrates in water and breath analysis for health and well-being related applications. Ultra-fast and low-power nanoscale optoelectronic devices are aimed towards systems for use in chemical and biological sensing technologies, high-performance computing, energy-efficient lighting, integrated healthcare devices, environmental monitoring and more. M3NIR makes use of such miniaturised optoelectronic building blocks, to create a modular, highly versatile and efficient multi-sensing platform, which will be validated in the domains of healthcare and environmental monitoring. The project also makes use of novel schemes for component integration and packaging, while it revolves around the Ge-on-SOI platform developed by IMEC. In doing so, the project will thereby promote the European open strategic autonomy in key integration & packaging technologies and related value chains and reinforce EU industrial leadership in high performance multi-sensing systems and components in healthcare & environmental monitoring and protection. Finally, it will help develop sensing devices and components allowing for reaching the new green deal objectives.
CyRIC is responsible for the development of the M3NIR platform, middleware and related services along with the necessary APIs for different data sources so that the middleware will be capable of exchanging information with external resources and integrating from heterogeneous data sources, including all M3NIR sensors. These services also include information aggregation, storage and mining modules along with a middleware specific security and privacy module for building all the identity management and access control for accessing the platform, communication protocols for secure information exchange between all the external information systems and finally to guarantee information privacy. Finally, CyRIC is also undertaking the task of advanced data analytics and machine learning model deployments to the platform, able to process and interpret the sensorial data generated from M3NIR use cases.
