Title: ‘Digital nose technology that utilises graphene to detect biofilms, infections and disease.’

Guest Speaker: Ali Rohafza

Bio: 8+ years managing technology products projects and developing solutions with a background in product design "If you believe in an idea, you should do everything possible to make it a reality."

Ali comments: Altered Carbon’s technology consists of highly sensitive digital receptors grouped together as sensor array on a microchip. It’s capable of detecting millions of different gases and VOC combinations. Think of it as the digital version of a dog’s nose. The sensors utilise the properties of the wonder material graphene. This enables us to provide ultra low power capabilities, detect many different target scents and produce at scale using simple manufacturing methods. Despite a lot of hype and lab attempts by various other companies attempting to shift graphene gas sensors into market-ready products, the progress has been very limited. This makes us one of the leading companies in the world with commercially viable graphene sensors.
