Results in brief
Knowledge Transfer of Smart Optical Fibre Sensor Technology
This IIF fellowship serves as EU-China collaboration platform for long-term collaboration between the host Aston University and four co-host Universities in EU and the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China (HUST) in China. The return phase period (12 months) is after the completion of Dr Q Sun’s IIF project in the UK and for her returning back to HUST, China. During the return phase of the IIF SOFST project on Knowledge Transfer of smart optical fibre sensor technologies, we have established China-EU joint smart optical fibre sensor laboratory in HUST in China collaborated with Aston Institute of Photonics Technology (AIPT), applied for funds on Advanced Optical Fibre Sensing Devices and Systems to support follow-on collaborative projects from China and EU, established a schedule of researcher exchange visits between UK and HUST, and established a long term Ph.D student exchange programme between Aston and HUST. In general, all the work-packages at HUST in China in return phase have been realized and the stepping stone for the long-term collaboration to follow has been set.

Project objective
The proposed knowledge transfer project on Smart Optical Fibre Sensor Technology (SOFST)via this International Incoming Fellowship (IIF) programme will bring the knowledge and expertise of the Marie Curie IIF Fellow Dr Qizhen Sun from the University of Huazhongin Chinawith the integration of the advanced optical fibre devicesfabrication technology and sensing applications of the EU host – Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies (AIPT) of Aston University to (1) develop advanced fibre grating and nano-micro structure based sensor platform; (2) explore speciality optical fibres for high function and multi-parameter sensors; (3) utilise functional nano and bio coating materials for sensor performance enhancement; (4) develop fibre laser based sensor systems for high resolution detection; (5) develop label-free on-line fibre sensor detection systems for food quality and security control. Together with proposed collaboration with 4 academic and 4 industrial co-hosts in Europe, the outcome of this project will not just enhance the EU leading position in smart fibre sensor technology but also the competiveness in commercialisation and wide range applications of this technology.
