Current work
Development of fiber optical sensors for physical and bio-chemical sensing. Designing and developing a distributed optical sensor system for Sensor Nodes used within WSN for real-time monitoring physical (temperature, strain, vibration) and biological (foodborne pathogens) parameters. The output of the distributed sensor array will be transmitted via the sensor node.

Background
Yiming Shen is a PhD researcher at Technological University Dublin, working under the supervision of Prof. Yuliya Semenova, Dr. Bo Cai, and Dr. Qiang Wu. His research focuses on the development of high-sensitivity optical fiber-based sensors using whispering gallery mode (WGM) microresonators for force and displacement sensing applications.Yiming is currently involved in sensor prototyping, system integration, and data processing. He is also undertaking a secondment at Northumbria University, where he is expanding his research into biochemical sensing using optical microstructures.
