·         Development of new optical sensors based on complex phosphate glasses containing rare-earth ions

·         Optimization of some remarkable properties of the phosphate glass host network as: high UV transmission, low linear and nonlinear refractive index, low viscosity and low melting temperatures, excellent capability to embed active rare earth (RE) ions due to the advantageous local structure effect and high RE ion solubility, high energy transfer in RE co-doped glasses

·         Implementation of a novel method for measurement of singular displacement in one and two directions for arbitrarily shaped objects  

·      Fabrication of a sensor which does not need special surface treatment for the analyzed surfaces having irregularities of the same magnitude order to that of the incident light wavelength

·    Design and development of miniaturized metrological instruments for non-contact measurement by high integration concept of sensing system and related microtechnological applications

·         Development of microsystems for remote control, maintenance and equipment monitoring, working in harsh environment conditions

·         Development of sensor packaging for different temperature ranges and aggressive environment

·         Novel manufactoring systems for micro- nano-components for small series production including a complete supply chain approach, nano soldering, micro nano integration process and quality control in process and active assembly.
