Company description

Alphasense develops and manufactures gas sensor technology for original equipment manufacturers.

Manufacture of electronic measuring, testing etc. equipment, not for industrial process control

Project impact

As a result of the grant award, the small optical particle counters designed by Centre for Atmospheric and Instrumentation Research (CAIR), University of Hertfordshire, and used during the award, were commercialised by Alphasense and have gone into production. My role in this industrial development has been to validate the commercial products as an independent expert for Alphasense.
