- environmental monitoring: outdoor and indoor
- food quality: freshness of food and spoilage detection
- quality assurance: e.g., monitoring recycling processes
- odour assessment and comparison with human olfaction
smart materials
calibration and transfer of calibration strategies
signal processing, including classical machine and deep learning approaches
