Intelligent ISFET sensory system for water quality monitoring

Abstract

It is my pleasure to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to my supervisor, Associate Professor Chan Pak Kwong. It was he who chose this promising topic for my Ph.D. research work, and he also provided me with good training and conductive research environment. His never ending flow of ideas, unerring intuition and infectious enthusiasm give me a very rewarding path. His concern and insight have helped me grow far beyond the boundaries of academic research. In particular, I want to thank Prof. Chan for much needed encouragement over the past years, and for his admirable integrity. I also grateful acknowledge to Associate Professor Tse Man Siu for his guidance on device and process on this research work. I am also grateful to Fan Xian Ping, a PhD graduate of Prof. Chan. My progress would not have been so smooth if not for her unselfish assistance, the helpful discussions and valuable suggestions. I would like to give special thanks to the technical staff in MFF Laboratory and CICS Laboratory, for the uncountable help they had given me during these years. They provided me great assistance when I have problems with the workstations and on the electronic workbench. Finally, I would like to acknowledge my parents, my wife and my other family members, for being there whenever I need them and always putting their highest priority on my education. Their love, encouragement and support have played an important role in the successful completion of my education at NTU.
