ARC Industrial Transformation Research Hub - IC-SensE ARC Research Hub for Intelligent Contaminant-Sensing in complex Environments (IC-SensE Hub). The Hub aims to transform Australia's environmental monitoring into a user-responsive industry spanning key users in agriculture, water and built environments. The Hub will achieve this transformation by delivering end-user centric, miniaturised sensing technologies integrated with AI for real-time assessment of chemical/biological contaminants in air, water and soil while predicting potential hazards before they occur. Expected outcomes include new autonomous sensing and forecasting capabilities allowing industries to monitor, analyse and respond to contaminants. This should provide a dramatic increase in industrial productivity, lower emissions and enhanced environmental public health opening new markets and building a skilled workforce.
