What's exciting about RADICAL? with Dr Bilal Khan, HZDR
We join RADICAL nanoelectronics researcher Dr Muhammad Bilal Khan from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), to find out what he finds most exciting about RADICAL.
Bilal Khan is a postdoctoral researcher in the Institute of Ion-Beam Physics and Materials Research, Department of Nanoelectronics at HZDR. He and his colleagues are responsible for fabricating the silicon nanowire chips that form the foundation of our sensors for atmospheric radicals.
RADICAL is a Horizon 2020 FET-Open project to develop a brand-new way of detecting atmospheric radicals in real-time. This will be a small, low-cost electronic sensor that will ‘sniff’ out short-lived radicals.
This could be a step-change in how scientists monitor and model the role of radicals in air quality and climate change.
RADICAL is led by UCC and includes five other partners across Ireland, Germany, Greece, Bulgaria, and the UK.
The RADICAL project has received funding from the European Union (EU)'s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 899282.
