This research develops an electrochemical sensor to continuously monitor stress by detecting cortisol, a key stress hormone. Using DNA aptamers and nanostructured electrodes, the sensor overcomes traditional detection limits, improving signal strength and durability. The technology offers a noninvasive method for long-term stress tracking to support prevention and treatment.

This research develops DNA-origami-enhanced nanopores to detect individual biomolecules from a single drop of blood. By slowing molecules and reading their electrical signatures with machine learning, the technology enables rapid, ultra-early disease diagnosis without traditional laboratory testing.

Corn crops often suffer hidden stress long before visible damage appears. This research develops DNA aptamer-based biosensors that detect early stress signals in maize soil. By providing real-time alerts, the system enables faster intervention, improving crop resilience, farm productivity, and long-term food security.

This research examines how architectural spaces shape emotional experience through their acoustic environments. Using binaural audio, 360° video, VR, biosensors, and self-reports, the study shows that spaces amplifying low frequencies enhance positive emotions. The goal is to develop architectural guidelines that create restorative, well-being-enhancing environments in schools, hospitals, offices, and public spaces.

This research examines how influencer travel videos glamorise risk and shape young tourists’ perceptions of destinations like the Gold Coast and Bali. Using biosensors to track emotional arousal, it uncovers why risk becomes appealing and helps tourism authorities design campaigns that encourage safe behaviour while protecting cultural and natural heritage.
