SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY
Olfa Kanoun is professor for measurement and sensor technology since 2007 at TU Chemnitz, Germany. She graduated in electrical engineering at the Technische Universität München from in 1996, where she specialized in the field of electronics. Her PhD at the University of the Bundeswehr in Munich was awarded in 2001 by the Commission of Professors in Metrology (AHMT e. V.) in Germany.
In 2015 she was awarded by the Tunisian ministry of social affairs for her scientific excellence and outstanding achievements. In her research she focuses on sensors, measurement systems and measurement methods. Since 2001 she is developing new sensors and measurement solutions based on impedance spectroscopy in the fields of battery diagnosis, bio-impedance spectroscopy, inductive sensors, capacitive sensors, conductivity sensors and material testing. She has a deep expertize in the field of energy harvesting and energy transmission and develops since many years successfully flexible nanocomposite sensors for force, temperature and humidity measurements.
She is author or co-author of 7 books, 52 papers in international journals with peer review, 110 papers in proceedings of international conferences and 6 journal special issues. She is member of the editorial board of Technisches Messen (De Gruyter) and associate editor of the journal on Digital Signals and Smart Systems (IJDSSS, Inderscience) Nanotechnology Council Rep (2017-2018); TC-34 Member
