Cusat joins project to mitigate noise pollution effects on marine habitat

Department of Electronics to collaborate with Sony Group

The Department of Electronics at the Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) will collaborate with Japan’s Sony Group to develop an intelligent sensor network for mitigating the effect of noise pollution on the marine habitat.

The joint venture is part of the company’s Sensing Solution University Collaboration (SSUC) programme to develop an intelligent sensor node network deployed on the sea floor or semi-buoyant platforms across large regions of the ocean, which can monitor marine habitats.

“We had come first in the national-level competition organised by Sony that required researchers to enhance the utility of the company’s products through innovative ideas,” said Supriya M.H, Professor and Head of the Department of Electronics.
