Prof. Denise M. Wilson

Denise Wilson is the director of the Distributed Microsystems Laboratory Her Research emphasizes making sensing systems that work using novel design methodologies, system frameworks, optimization software, electronic interfaces, and signal processing. Of special interest to Denise is the modelling of olfactory systems; she is developing an electronic nose toolbox (of a wide variety of chemical sensor models at different levels of complexity) to be able to support the modelling of the biological olfactory system.
