Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature
Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for
future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive
positive feedback from the reviewers.
Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world.
Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly
interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the
most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.
As Editor-in-Chief of Sensors, I am pleased to announce the four winners of the 2016 Travel Awards sponsored by Sensors:
Travel Awards were granted to Saira Bakshi, PhD student at Clarkson University, Ivan Trujllo-Priego, PhD student at the University of Southern California, Brunah A. Otieno, PhD student at University of Connecticut, and to Dr. Wei Gao, post-doctoral researcher at UC Berkeley. The awards consist of 800 Swiss Francs each to attend any academic conference during 2016.
Saira Bakshi’s research involves biomolecular computing and biosensing based on logic processing of biomolecular signals. She is planning to present her work on the analysis of cancer biomarkers ex vivo in cultured mammalian cells at the 5th International Symposium on Sensor Science (I3S 2016), Durham, 17–22 July 2016. Ivan Trujllo-Priego’s research focuses on creating algorithms for identifying infant-produced limb movements from full-day, natural environment wearable sensor data. Brunah A. Otieno’s work focuses on low-cost electrochemical microfluidic immunosensors for cancer diagnostics and she is also planning to give a presentation at the I3S 2016. Dr. Wei Gao is currently a postdoctoral scholar at Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center of UC Berkeley. He has developed a fully-integrated wearable sensor array for multiplexed in-situ perspiration analysis, described in an upcoming publication in Nature.
